Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Five relatively young soldiers are lying in beds on a gravel path. The beds are made from pieces of metal tubing and look fairly compact. Each man has a number of pillows to prop him up and is holding a bamboo parasol. They are all sitting at different angles although it is unclear whether this is for medical reasons or just personal preference. The gravel path is marked with boulders which have been painted white. It skirts more wooden huts . The hut behind the soldiers has the number seven on it and a fire bucket is also visible.

Photographs like these although also taken for enjoyment and amusement were probably taken with propaganda in mind. Images like these would reassure those at home and negate the more horrific aspects of war.
