Description

View of the Somme Valley, taken from Chipilly Heights, showing Morcourt (far left), Cerisy (centre left), and Corbie (far right). Hamel is located in the background (far right). Much of the country from Hamel to the left of the image was taken by the Australian troops on 8 August 1918. 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 E02989A, E02989B, E02989C and E02989D.
