Ingenuity of the Great War 



One oi the tragedies of tlie 

 war. The sinking of the 

 hospital ship " Anglia " 

 with wounded on board, 

 after striking a mine in 

 the EngUsh Channel. The 

 remarkable photograph 

 was taken from one of the 

 rescuing ships just as the 

 "Anglia" plunged beneath 

 the waves, carrying down 

 many of the wounded and 

 their nurses 



the opening of the war. The moving of these great guns 



to lofty positions in the Alps is no mean feat, as may be 



seen in the picture, showing thirty men at work 



A system of mirrors makes it possible for the Austriaiv soldier to fire 

 his rifle without exposing himself
