Description

A busy scene in Sausage Valley during the fighting near Pozieres. Communications with Pozieres led through this valley, which was a very busy thoroughfare in July and August 1916 during the battle to capture the village from the Germans. Beyond the Rolls Royce Phantom motor vehicle, and in the middle distance, are several field kitchens, with numerous men waiting around them.
