Captured in black and white by Le Flambeau (the Torch) on September 18th, 1915, this image transports us to the Western Front during one of history's most devastating conflicts. Intriguingly bizarre and brimming with amusement, we witness a group of off-duty soldiers engaging in an extraordinary display of flexibility. A contortionist-like figure effortlessly hangs from a pole while forming what appears to be a human serpent.
