Dear forum members, can anyone help me regarding a powerpoint presentation i am putting together for a talk i am doing for a group of OAPs. I need a high resolution image of british barbed wire from the WW1 period. Thanks very much - potty5

Try Google: ww1 barbed wire entanglements
If you have Google Chrome you can click on images, there are hundreds but most are too big for here.

Are you looking for shots of the wire showing detail of the thickness of strands, pattern of barbs etc or are you looking for shots of posts and wire or entanglements?

This is strand of wire found near Gueudecourt. Some of the tips have rotted off but the thickness is awesome. Straightened out this piece would be 37 cms or 15 ins long!

Hi
Strand from the same area. This is 16 cms long; longest barb is at least 3 cms. The wire in both photos is very brittle and therefore the barbs could actually have been longer than 3 cms
