41. Talking Points - Photographic EvidenceLook carefully at the photograph (above) of the British soldiers manning a street barricade. Examine the foreground, middle ground and background - describe each section of the photograph. The foreground contains what looks like a soldier's knapsack - how come it is on the 'enemy' side of the barricade? Were the soldiers under fire when this photograph was taken? How do you know? Who might have taken this photograph and how did they hope to use it? Examine the other photographs on this site along similar lines.
