OverviewWithin this painting there is a visible soldier with a Gas mask equipped. The environment seems to have suffered severely due to chemical warfare.
TitleThe title adds on to my understanding of this painting because trench warfare was a military based tactic for fighting World War One. Trench warfare was terrifying and brutal on death tolls and this painting represents the death that took place in World War One.
