RIR250 during the battle of Montdidier-Noyon in June 1918

Members of the Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment 250. In the last months of the war, bufa photos deal with subjects much closer to the front.
Even if the photos are staged I think it's still a real battle. All soldiers are not always under fire on a front of several kilometers. War waste (wood, healing compresses, clothing) is a good indicator. The weakly dug trench with trees still standing corresponds to the period. The eyes are not turned towards the objective.
It can be the second or third line. Photo 10148 suggests a rest.

The closeness between the scenes could indicate the existence of a film.
