World War 1 dead soldier with fixed bayonet

A photo of a dead World War 1 soldier with his rifle and fixed bayonet lying near his body. The background -the sun and type of trees – suggests that he was not killed on a battlefield in northern Europe.

We have to remember that World War 1 was also fought in the sunny, warmer climates of Italy and Austria, and it’s quite possible that he was killed in this climate.
