MACHINE GUN MEN CREEP INTO POSITION

This picture, an actual scene-on the western battle line, shows a German light artillery and machine jun detachment moving closer and closer to the enemy’s lines in an effort to gain a position from which the allies trenches can be swept with gunfire preparatory to a charge. So effective is the fire of these light machine guns that the few men seen in the picture could withstand an entire regiment if the latter charged them across an open field.
