German propaganda showing Allied corpses: two shots of men lying dead by the escape hatches of their Mark IV 'Female' tanks, one showing the terrible effects of a tank fire and surrounded by Lewis Gun magazines; allied dead in a trench surrounded by ammunition boxes.

Part of the photograph and scrap album of Revd. Leonard Thomas Pearson, Army Chaplain's Department (attached No. 44 Casualty Clearing Station), discovered in a skip and deposited with the Bodlian Library. Revd. Pearson was interviewed by Lyn Macdonald for her book 'The Roses of No Man's Land', which contains two extracts and a photograph.
