After a few weeks of building sandbags and foxholes, the soldier 's attitudes started to change about the concept of war. War was nothing like they had expected, they were ready for

In the painting, there is a group of soldiers in a trench near the front lines, preparing to hold off a swarm of German soldiers running towards them.

He alarmed the others. Fear had left everyone breathless. There was a strange reticence. Everyone was expecting a horrible thing. The longer the silent moments of waiting, the bigger the people's panic and fear. They were sticking to the rocks and sandbags more and more, like they were rooting into the soil.
