Description

Panoramic view of the battlefield east of Ypres from Dadizeele (Dadizele) to Wervicq (Wervik), taken from a gun position known as Clapham Junction. The soil int e foreground appears to be torn by shell holes, and a trench runs across it. Beyond are the shattered remains of a hedge or wood. There are several farms on the horizon as well as a pillbox (concrete shelter) on Becelaere Ridge. This is the third image in a nine part panorama. See EZ0169P for the combined image.
