Description

The battlefield around Thames dugout (on the far left). The difficult terrain was made worse by the shellfire which churned up the ground and the almost continuous rain which had fallen since the commencement of the operations in August 1917. Note the duckboard tracks which were laid in all directions over this area to make communication with the frontline possible. This is a digitally combined composite panorama made up of four separate images. It is only available as a digital print. The four images are also available separately at E01159, E01159A, E01160 and E01160A.
