Description

A view of fields and town buildings, taken from the church tower, showing some of the damage caused by severe shelling in the previous month during the German force's unavailing attempts to reach the town. At the time the sector was defended by the 1st Division. This is the right hand image in a two part panorama. See E02316P for the combined image.
