None of the above but as I stated earlier, it is made of wood and Armistead is getting warm regarding it being past history.

Is it the remains of the timber structure of a WW1 trench, maybe in Flanders?

Is it a dummy tree used as an observation post, like the one used by the Aussies on Hill 63 during the battle of Messines?
