Photographing The Western Front's Dead

Managed to capture some lighter moments too though.
"A poignant collection of images which were taken by a photographer who documented the graves of fallen soldiers on the Western Front have come to light in a new book.
Ivan Bawtree was one of only three professional photographers assigned to the Graves Registration Units to photograph and record the graves of fallen First World War soldiers on behalf of grieving relatives.
His powerful photos of northern France and Flanders are a haunting reminder of the horrors of war and a fascinating insight into the early work of the Imperial War Graves Commission.
The Grave Registration Units officially recorded where British soldiers were buried during World War I.
Prior to the First World War, the casualties of war were generally buried in unmarked mass graves."
Amongst the photos are shocking images of the ruins of Ypres including the cloth hall, cathedral and Menin Gate."
