Somme and Ypres battlefields, 21/04/2006 - 23/04/2006.

This is the view from the Loos battlefield where British troops German trenches in 1915. The attack was a diversionary tactic, one which cost 50,000 British and 30,000 German casualties. The huge slag heaps of views are visible in the background, the German defenders had fortified similar heaps heavily during the battle, using machine guns and troops.
