" In fact, there's a signature in the bottom right-hand corner (Vernon, I think???). The fourth picture also seems to be a drawing, but - like the first posting - probably done from a photograph; this was a technique often used by magazines of the time." Quote db84124
Had a dig around for war artists of that name T. Vernon , and variations , but came up with nothing. Perhaps by copying the original photo into a pencil sketch was done for copy-write reasons or ease of printing. I must admit to being ignorant of the different methods of mass printing. Never mind I have spent an interesting few hours on the web.

Hello there, Arkrite,
You've taken upon yourself a job I had every intention of returning to at a later time, but well before now!! ...... distractions, distractions.
Ernie,
Having told us that you've taken the pictures in Post #21 from "The Great War Magazine", I wonder if you could check whether somewhere in the journal there's a small editorial box with acknowledgements to photographers, artists and illustrators. It's a long shot but it could save Arkrite and myself further research.
Speak to you tomorrow. David

Super photographs especially to a Great War history enthusiast like me......
As you know, St Tropez is on the Med coast in the south and thankfully, no hostilities occurred there. The pictures would have been taken in the north-east close to the front lines and the damage would have been as a result of artillery fire by either side.

Just in case anyone is ever looking for this detail, the first day that tanks went into action was actually 15 September 1916 and not at Thiepval. This was the start of a phase of the Battle of the Somme known as the Battle of Flers-Courcelette.
