Description

A deserted communication trench in no man's land near Nieuport-Bains, at the point where the Yser enters the sea. The pile of ruins on the left is all that remains of the lighthouse. Many of the dugouts and entrenchments in this sector were made by the 2nd Australian Tunnelling Company in the latter end of 1917.
