Description

A view illustrating the dominating position of Cologne Ridge in the Hindenburg Defence System. It was of great importance, overlooking, as it did, a considerable section of the Hindenburg area, including Ronssoy, Quennuemont Farm, and Bellicourt. Note the duckboard steps cut into a path on the left.
