The cheerful return of soldiers with their Christmas geese to the trenches in 1914.

An improvised spit made from rifles, sticks and a spade to roast Christmas geese.

‘The goose-step performed for the benefit of Mr Atkins by Christmas ducks’: birds as entertainment.

‘The Christmas goose that comes to Tommy’s bugle call.’

A territorial magpie, protecting his master’s tent.

Swans that survived the bombardment at Ypres.

The rhythm of nature and the migration of birds continues in spite of the war in Samuel Begg’s striking drawing of swallows over the ruins of a destroyed town.
