Description

View of the village showing shell damaged buildings, the railway and the surrounding countryside. Several railway carriages can be seen in the centre. Villers-Bretonneux was a railhead for supplies for the Australian Corps and it is likely that the soldiers seen working along the railway line are Australian. This is the second image in a five part panorama. See E03911P for the combined image.
