Trench warfare, aided by a periscope


The soldier on the left has his rifle strapped to a wooden device which incorporates an angled mirror at the top (and certainly another at the bottom), with probably a wire going to the trigger, enabling him to aim and fire without lifting his head above the surface of the ground.

It appears he is being aided by a spotter behind him. I don't know the location, original source, photographer, or context for this. The hats suggest perhaps Gallipoli? Anyone know?
