Favorite Find: Sgt. Glenn Lee Niccum - A Polar Bear

As the Great War bogged down into a trench slug- fest, armies of both sides produced and carried a vast array of close-combat weapons including small, versatile weapons that the combatants would come to call, “trench knives.” This Belgian soldier wearing body armor and a Farina-style helmet, carries a modified Mauser bayonet in his teeth.
