Members of the Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment 250. In the last months of the war, bufa photos deal with subjects much closer to the front.
Even if the photos are staged I think it's still a real battle. All soldiers are not always under fire on a front of several kilometers. War waste (wood, healing compresses, clothing) is a good indicator. The weakly dug trench with trees still standing corresponds to the period. The eyes are not turned towards the objective.
It can be the second or third line. Photo 10148 suggests a rest.
The closeness between the scenes could indicate the existence of a film.

Soldiers from the 2nd Battalion The Parachute Regiment training with Norwegian forces during exercise joint Viking.
C Company of 2nd Battalion The Parachute Regiment (2 PARA) are deployed on Exercise JOINT VIKING in Bardufoss, northern Norway.
Ex JOINT VIKING, running until 15 Mar 23, is a military winter exercise held in Norway every second year. Its main purpose is to train the Norwegian Armed Forces in its main task: defending Norway. It includes land, sea, and air forces from across the Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF).
The UK-led JEF consists of ten countries, eight of which are also NATO members; Finland and Sweden await ratification.
Ex JOINT VIKING provides opportunities to enhance multi-domain interoperability and unit readiness, in addition to training to operate efficiently with Allies in arduous winter conditions.
Approximately 11,800 personnel are taking part; in addition to 2PARA, participants include the Norwegian Armed Forces and the United States Marine Corps (USMC).
The last time 2PARA operated with USMC was in Kabul eighteen months ago on Operation PITTING, working to evacuate over 15,000 NATO-affiliated Afghans to safety.
The Colchester-based Parachute Regiment’s core role as part of 16 Air Assault Brigade Combat Team, the British Army’s Global Response Force, is to deploy at short notice by parachute, helicopter, or air landing.

The Shropshire Yeomanry was a yeomanry regiment of the British Army, first raised in 1795, which served as a cavalry and dismounted infantry regiment in the First World War and as a cavalry and an artillery regiment in the Second World War. It was then amalgamated with the Shropshire Royal Horse Artillery.
In 1969, the regiment was replaced by No. 4 Squadron, 35 (South Midlands) Signal Regiment and the Shropshire Yeomanry Cadre. These later formed the Shropshire Yeomanry Squadron of the Queen's Own Mercian Yeomanry before their amalgamation into the Royal Mercian and Lancastrian Yeomanry and subsequent re-subordination to the Royal Yeomanry.
The castle stands at the top of a hill and was built as a defensive fortification for Shrewsbury, which was otherwise protected by the River Severn. Founded by Roger de Montgomery, the oldest parts of Shrewsbury Castle were built between 1066 and 1074, during the reign of William the Conqueror. The castle has since undergone many transformations, the last one being by Thomas Telford who remodelled the interior as a private house in the late 18th century.
In 1835 a group of enquiring minds came together to create a museum in Shrewsbury. Over the years objects arrived from hundreds of people wanting to share their piece of Shropshire’s past. In 2014 the Museum returned to its earlier home with the same aim – to celebrate the stories that make this county unique through these collections.
With over 300,000 items from fossilised rain drops to Queen Victoria’s stockings there is much to amaze, enlighten and amuse.
Shrewsbury Castle also houses the Soldiers of Shropshire Museum. It is a Regimental Museum which houses the collections of the major county Regiments – the King’s Shropshire Light Infantry and its ancestors; the Shropshire Yeomanry; the Shropshire Royal Horse Artillery and the related county Militia, Volunteers and Territorials of Shropshire. The museum displays were completely refurbished after a terrorist attack in 1992, re-opening in 1997, and the collection now proudly lives up to the regimental motto: Aucto Splendore Resurgo (I rise again in Greater Splendour)

The Castle was acquired by the Corporation of Shrewsbury in 1924 through the generosity of Shropshire Horticultural Society.

The Royal Hampshire Regiment Museum, located in Winchester, England, is a treasure trove of military history. It celebrates the legacy of the county's regiment, which was established in 1702 and served until its amalgamation into the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment in 1992. Visitors can explore a rich collection of artifacts, documents, and interactive displays that narrate the regiment's involvement in key historical events. The museum also offers a poignant Memorial Garden, dedicated in 1952, and a timeline feature that provides a detailed account of the regiment's storied past. With free admission, the museum stands as a testament to the soldiers who served with distinction for nearly 300 years.
The Hampshire Regiment was a line infantry regiment of the British Army, created as part of the Childers Reforms in 1881 by the amalgamation of the 37th (North Hampshire) Regiment of Foot and the 67th (South Hampshire) Regiment of Foot. The regiment existed continuously for 111 years and served in the Second Boer War, World War I and World War II. An Army Order of the 28 November 1946 stated, due to distinguished service in the Second World War, the regiment would be re-titled as the Royal Hampshire Regiment.
On 9 September 1992, after over 111 years' service, the Royal Hampshire Regiment was amalgamated with the Queen's Regiment to form a new large regiment, the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment, which continues the traditions of the Royal Hampshires.
The museum is located within Serle's House which was built about 1730 for William Sheldon. It fronted Bowling Green Lane, originally the Saxon Gar Street, and had a large garden backing onto Southgate Street. The house has been in military use almost continuously since its purchase by James Serle in 1781.
This was the arrangement I made for my recent screw shots (see below). I quite liked this snap I made of the set-up so decided to upload it!

The British Army’s global response force is training to show its readiness to respond to global crises alongside allied airborne forces.
Exercise Swift Response sees 16 Air Assault Brigade Combat Team take command of more than 3,500 soldiers from 8 NATO countries training together in North Macedonia.
Some 2,000 British troops and 500 vehicles from the 2 PARA Battlegroup and attack, reconnaissance and support helicopters of Aviation Task Force 1 have travelled across Europe by road, rail, air and sea for the six-week-long exercise (21 Apr – 31 May). It starts with preparatory training to build the joint force’s skills and relationships before it deploys by parachute and helicopter to practise offensive and defensive operations on the rugged Krivolak training area.
The manoeuvres in North Macedonia are one element of a wider exercise, with four multinational forces under the direction of US Army Europe and Africa conducting simultaneous training across Europe – from the High North to the Caucasus.

1 Squadron RAF Regiment Training in Cyprus.
The terrain in Cyprus has offered 1 Squadron Force Protection the opportunity to train in the heat and on the rough ground that is similar to that found to many of the airfields on which the RAF Regiment operate.
They have conducted section attacks as part of a training programme that will reach Flight level, before their return to the UK.
Not only does the section attack practice gunners in identify and neutralising a threat as quickly as possible but it also trains Junior Commanders to manage workforce, ammunition levels, timings and hones their ability to make decisions under pressure.
1 Squadron Force Protection have been conducting Ground Extraction Force (GEF) Exercises as part of an ongoing Joint Personnel Recovery (JPR) serial that will continue on return to the UK.
The challenging exercise tested the 1 Sqn Flights on planning, deploying, and finding and recovering isolated personnel in a challenging environment..

Soldiers of 22 Engineer Regiment march proudly past cheering crowds during a parade through Andover, Hampshire.
To mark their return from Afghanistan, over 400 soldiers of 22 Engineer Regiment of the Corps of the Royal Engineers exercised their Freedom of the Borough of Test Valley by marching through Andover, Hampshire, on Saturday 12 October 2013.
The Royal Engineers or ‘Sappers’ have been busy this tour not only reinforcing existing British bases across Helmand Province but removing, closing and transferring bases across the province to Afghan control. This is a real indicator of progress, because as a base is closed or handed over and it shows that the Afghans are proving capable at sustaining their own operations.
