War Trades Practiced at the Front 



An odd watchmaker's 

 shop. An Italian watch- 

 maker who had been 

 called to the colors took 

 up his trade again when 

 he arrived at the front. 

 Underneath an army- 

 wagon he set up his shop 



Many visitors to the 

 trenches have brought 

 away cigar lighters made 

 of two cartridges. In one 

 is placed the gasoline and 

 wick, while the bullet of 

 the other contains flint 

 and a steel friction wheel 



An outdoor blacksmith shop among the 

 sand dunes near Ostend (below). Most 

 of the German troops occupying the 

 stretch of land along the coast of 

 Flanders are sailors from the idle fleet. 

 The'.r presence at the front has released 

 a great number of soldiers for use 

 along other sections of the line
