In the aftermath of an explosion caused by a gas-shell, Acting-Sergeant Raynes is seen putting his smoke-helmet on Sergeant Ayres, demonstrating unwavering courage and camaraderie in the face of danger. The image showcases the heroism displayed by soldiers like Acting-Sergeant John Crawshaw Raynes, who was awarded the prestigious Victoria Cross for his actions on that fateful day in October 1915 at Fosse 7 de Bethune. This print serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals serving in the British Army during World War I.
