African soldiers from the French army are having lunch in their trench. The soldiers are wearing traditional French military uniforms of the mid-20th century. They are seated around a makeshift wooden table set up in the trench. On the table, there are metal plates stacked with bread and cheese, and tin cans filled with soup being warmed over a small, contained fire. Their guns are rested against the dirt walls of the trench. The trench is deep, enough to cover a man standing to his shoulder.
