You see that all the skin on the skull is completly burned away but oddly the straps remain. Maybe maybe not. Some one else care to comment on it please? Jon
Looks like the foreground of the photograph has been enhanced by a collection of material from the battlefield. The cylinder next to the skull is the kind of gas shell launched from a Livens Projector.
FWIW, my opinion is the skull has been picked up and put there for the picture, though I'm dubious about whether the helmet was in situ when it was dug up.
I suspect that this is the handiwork of rats, birds and/or insects rather than fire.
That doesn't mean that the helmet/skull wasn't posed for better effect, however.
Of course, this is based on nothing more than all of those new shows on Criminal Forensics, Archaeology and Nature, that form the background noise for my modelling bench.
I really wish I could get the HIstory Channel instead.
