British. Delivering pigeons to the trenches. Western Front. c1916 This picture is part of a previously unpublished set of World War One (WWI) images from a private collection. The pictures offer an unusual view of varied and contrasting aspects of the conflict, from high tech artillery to mobile pigeon lofts, and from officers partying in their headquarters to the grim reality of life and death in the trenches. The year 2014 marks the centenary of the start of the war. REUTERS/AMC ATTENTION EDITORS - PICTURE 01 OF 31 FOR PACKAGE ÒWWI - Ò TO FIND ALL IMAGES SEARCH ÔWW1 - Ò
