    World War One from the OTHER side: Hundreds of images taken by a German soldier reveal the misery of the enemy's trenches
    • Walter Koessler took almost 1,000 images while he served in the German Army during the war
    • The images have been perfectly preserved by his descendants in America but were unseen by public
    • Walter's great-grandson Dean Putney has shared them and hopes they 'humanize the war'
    • Is fundraising to turn the unique collection into a photo book in time for next year's 100th anniversary
