Description
A view of the wire entanglements behind Loos Tower Bridge, with Fosse 15 and Loos Crassier in the background. The 3rd Australian Tunnelling Company (3ATC) were engaged on trench shelter construction and repair in this area after the battle of Hill 70, in August 1917. The wire entanglements formed part of a reserve line of defence across Crucifix Dump road through the old German lines to Hulluch. Identified: Lieutenant T. Taylor, 3ATC (left), and an unidentified sergeant, who is an assistant photographer with Captain Wilkins (right).
