"The Counter-attack; Study for 'over the Top' (iwm Art 1656)" image: a small squared up study for the painting 'Over the Top' (IWM ART 1656). On the left, a trench lined with duckboards stretches away from the viewer. A group of soldiers clamber from the trench, going 'over the top'. Two lie dead in the trench and another has fallen lying face down in the snow, which covers the ground. Those who have survived plod forward towards the right without looking back. They walk beneath a grey, stormy sky, with clouds from shell and gunfire in the distance.
