That is no shell hole!

[browningautorifle]

Agreed, now maybe they improved it but it's definitely seen the shovel round point. Or maybe it's a square shell...

[Amsdorf]

Obviously made by one of the many square bombs that were dropped.

[Pay no attention to the piles of dirt on either side of the foxhole they obviously dug.]
