Some cool humor images:

Wet weather cannot damp Tommy’s sense of humour perhaps

Close-up of a sign posted in a camp. A line of straggly trees frame the horizon, and the field stretched out in front of them is a muddy bog. To the left behind the sign is a large mound, the contents of which are resting on logs and covered with a tarpaulin. There is a huge shiny puddle in the foreground which catches the reflection. The sign reads, ‘The wrong side. Those shells that you saw lying in the mud are on the wrong side. Pick them up. If you cant use them yourself- take them to salvage dump. They will see that they reach the right people who will put them in their proper place- THE OTHER SIDE.’

The caption on the back of the photograph previous to this one in the sequence reads, ‘Let Fritz have it. It was made for him. So why let it lie in the mud take it to the SALVAGE DUMP.’

[Original reads: 'OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN ON THE BRITISH WESTERN FRONT IN FRANCE. The wet weather cannot damp Tommy's sense of humour perhaps "The other side" cannot see the object of this notice, but will no doubt feel it.']
