Flamethrower operator
Illustration from the July 1915 issue of Popular Mechanics.
Though this German flamethrower pioneer armed with a Kleif M.1912, he is not "rerady to attack" because the flamethrower lacks a nozzle, an igniter holder, and an igniter.
This image and the drawing on the cover of the magazine are based on a rendering by Sir Amédée Forestier.

It's likely that Forestier's version was based on a French commercial postcard depicting a captured Kleif M.1912.
