Description

A wrecked limber, one of many similar scenes on the Ypres-Zonnebeke Road, in the struggle to win from the Germans the important ridges of Broodseinde and Passchendaele in October and November, 1917. This road was the only one available for traffic in the sector of the 3rd Division and it was continually crowded with transport, among which the enemy shells played havoc.
