Description
English: Troops supposedly "going over the top" at the start of the Battle of the Somme in 1916, photographed by Canadian official photographer Ivor Castle.

The breech cover which is clearly visible on the rifle of the soldier in the foreground was edited out in contemporary publications of the photograph
