A French officer is standing on a wooden "duck-board" walkway circling below the rim of a large crater created by the explosion of an underground mine. This scene is in the vicinity of Fort Douaumont near Verdun, France. The scenery is desolate and a small lake fringed with ice lies below at the bottom of the crater.
