Geënsceneerde voorstelling van de Royal Munster Fusiliers in een loopgraaf in Zuid-Afrika 1901

This stereoscopic photograph by Underwood & Underwood captures a staged scene of the Royal Munster Fusiliers in a trench in South Africa during the Second Boer War (1899-1902). The image was taken in 1901 and showcases a line of soldiers in a trench, posing with rifles in a battle-ready stance. The photograph provides a glimpse into the realities of war, particularly the use of trenches as defensive positions. The staged nature of the photograph suggests a desire to present a narrative of British military prowess during this conflict.
