Ernest Brooks was one of the leading photographers of the First World War. Unlike many of the First World War photos this one is a high resolution scan and also happens to be one of Brooks' more famous images. The silhouetted contrast with the light shinning through the clouds is different from most war photography.

- Lovely shot, poor reproduction. A great pity, as the print looks to have been a good one, just not very well archived; it was reasonably well scanned, but compressed way too much. Repairing the dust and damage would be a real chore as it's hard to tell damage from jpeg artifact. An uncompressed version at this size might have been a potential candidate. Which brings me to the copyright situation: are we sure this is PD by virtue of being owned by the British government? mikaultalk 08:58, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
