Légende

'A Village on the Western Front', (1919). Scene from the First World War, 1914-1919: British soldier posing by a destroyed building in northern France or Belgium. 'There is quite a "Bairnsfather" touch of humour about the wreckage with its signboard "Divisional Canteen". No doubt the building whose skeleton only now remains did serve that useful purpose, but its usefulness was considerably impaired by the German bombardment of the village of which it formed part.' From "The History of the Great European War: its causes and effects", Vol. V, by W. Stanley Macbean Knight. [Caxton Pulishing Company, Limited, London, 1919]
