Photographs taken after November 1918.
Numerous and various pieces of German memorabilia, such as signs, helmets, weapons and ammunition, have all been artistically pinned to a wall above a fire and surround. It was common for advancing armies to gather the enemy's belongings as trophies. The pride the soldiers must have had at collecting this paraphernalia is evident through their elaborate display. [Original reads: 'SCENES ON THE WESTERN FRONT. WAR TROPHIES SECTION. German trophies from Vimy Ridge and Messines. In centre is Prussian Guards drum.']
