War-time trenches used to be on fighting lines. Now, trenches are built in cities, alongside homes and schools and churches. For war today has no mercy on non-combatants. They are taught to cower in the ground like hunted animals. And that is the grim lesson the Czech family, pictured above, is learning right in Prague.
To keep an army of men bodily clean is one of the herculean tasks with which all the warring forces must combat. The photo shows a bathroom in the trenches north of Soisson, only 100 yards away from the German lines, where the men can enjoy their accustomed ablutions.
