Description

A view of fields (left) 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 a digitally combined composite panorama made up of two separate images. It is only available as a digital print. The two images are also available separately at E02316A and E02316B.
