Description
Bodies of American troops laid out in an American cemetery near the road leading to Gillemont Farm and Bony. They were killed in the fighting near Gillemont Farm on 29 September when the 27th American Division attacked over the main Hindenburg Line and suffered many casualties. In the background are several stretchers leaning against each other. Note the white crosses lying over each body. This is the centre image in a three part panorama. See E04942P for the combined image.
