Max GEHLSEN, Angres. Watermill on the Souchez stream, 3 April 916, gouache on cardboard, 22.5 x 14.5 cm

Two men are on the banks of the Souchez, along which many watermills were constructed. This provides an overview of what the soldiers could do when stopping for rests away from the front line. Those troops taken from the front line at regular intervals had some free time so as to rest before heading back to the front line.
