Description

A batch of German prisoners in charge of a single Australian, passing along a valley near Morcourt, on 8 August 1918. The smoke on the left of the picture is issuing from Artillery dugouts, which had been fired by the German gunners in order to ignite and destroy the gun charges stored in them.
