Of course the pictures may very well have been staged (not sure)

But it looks too easy , unofficial , the guy sitting reading the sentence

Also I put in doubt the uniforms of the firing squad .

reading the sentence

the execution

the coup de grace (body still has helmet on)- no bullet holes)

the village Longueval-Barbonavl (02) , nowadays at the same spot where the execution took place probably in November 14.

I must say that it looks extremely staged. (Even "stills" from a moving picture?). The ones carrying out the "execution", however, are French.

I agree, they are all French.
