__NOTOC__
The well-know idiom "A picture is worth a thousand words" has been used many times over to express the notion that a picture can convey information more effectively than the construct of words. Think about the First World War and imagine a few images that relate to this period. What images come to mind? Maybe images of battle-torn villages, quagmires, trenches, artillery and soldiers "going over the top." There are countless images taken from countless vantage points from many different countries, all depicting every conceivable aspect of the horrors of war. These galleries, however, are not like that. In fact they are very different indeed, as you will see.
