Worldwide attention on the ancient tomb at Amphipolis has dredged any publicity and documents related to the area. Amongst the photo documents related to the area are a series of photos taken by British soldiers of the 2nd King’s Shopshire Light Infantry in 1916. The soldiers posed with skulls excavated during the construction of trenches and dugouts.
