The title poses a question and answers it in two words: trained men. By 1915 the war on the Western Front had settled into trench lines across France and Belgium, and neither side could break through quickly. Armies that had started with volunteers and reservists now needed large numbers of soldiers who could hold ground, attack, and survive modern firepower. Training camps and drill grounds expanded rapidly in Britain and the dominions, and the message of the image reflects that shift from early enthusiasm to organized preparation.
