First World War image of a British soldier pulling colleague from rubble. [It is unlikely that the helped soldier would look as cheerful as he does or that the helper would pull the buried and probably injured man in so unprofessional a way if he had been lying beneath the weight of soil and rubble after an explosion. It is more likely that the man has slipped and fallen into this position while examining damage, the aftermath of which is depicted here.] Or the photograph has been staged after the event, as were many of these commercially-produced images of the progress of FWW
