It was a very difficult task indeed. In the front lines you would have a camera and be part of the action just as a regular soldier would be. The only difference that instead of shooting your gun you would "Shoot your camera". Its about this time that the expression "shoot a picture" came about. Any serviceman in the front lines would be subject to all conditions that regular soldiers would face. Unless you carried a camera for the occasional picture you would either be a reporter or journalist. Most likely you would be developing your pictures on the field. For many the camera would be a non essential part of their gear and would not be taken. Many people taking pictures would be wounded. Those that made it had terrific stories to relate too. We can thank all who took pictures during the war. Without them the feel of the war for future generations would only be written in text.
