Hamel Wood and Vaire Wood, from Pear Trench, looking along the sunken road, which was lined with enemy trench mortars and machine guns, and which constituted the first obstacle captured by the 15th Battalion. Many Americans and Australians became casualties as a result of the fire from this position, the ground on the right being thickly strewn with dead.
