Located near Leper in Belgium, Tyne Cot Cemetery holds nearly 12,000 graves of World War I soldiers who fought for Great Britain.
In order to stop the British advance, the Germans built this network of trenches in Bayernwald, near the Belgian city of Ypres. Most of the Great War was fought in trenches like these.
In Beaumont-Hamel, France, frost covers the trenches dug before the Battle of the Somme, fought from July to November 1916. It is one of the best preserved battlefields of the Western Front.
Built near Hébuterne, France, a British bunker was positioned to observe German positions in Gommecourt. The Battle of the Somme was fought in a 30-mile front extended to the north and the south of the river of the same name.
The battle of Linge took place in Alsace, France, from July to October, 1915. It left nearly 17,000 dead, roughly 10,000 French soldiers and 7,000 Germans. They are now buried in two separate cemeteries, Wettstein for the French (above) and Baerenstall for the Germans.
Soldiers' boots trod over the muddy remains of a hilltop village near Argonne, France, which destroyed by four years of intense bombing.
