World War I photograph, Western Front, France (6)

Black and white photograph of a man in water.   Comical shot of a man bathing in a well built waterhole.  This photograph is one of a collection of 71 taken or collected by Frederic Gerald Gibbs (1888-1940).  Gibbs was a professional photographer in Annan who joined the Royal Engineers in 1916.  He was sent to the Western Front and spent two years there until he was injured just a few days before the end of the war.  He survived and brought home these images which were found by his daughter after his death.
