Six German soldiers with a Maschinengewehr 08, or MG 08 machine gun, capable of firing 450-500 rounds a minute, and a mere 40 meters from the British line. The soldier at right, with gas mask canister slung over his shoulder, is peering into a periscope to get a view of enemy activity. The soldier at rear, with steel helmet, holds a “potato masher” model 24 grenade.
