The original caption read British soldiers go "over the top"
The original caption read British soldiers go " over the top" from a trench in France 1916. The image was taken by Canadian official photographer Ivor Castle and was widely published as a portrayal of an actual British attack. However it was actually taken during a training exercise by Canadian troops near St. Pol, France in October 1916. The breech cover on the rifle of the soldier in the foreground had been edited out and the re-toucher added the shell burst clouds. After the discovery of the staged image Castle was recalled to London
