Description
Members of a British Labour Company engaged on the reconstruction of the Zonnebeke Railway, near Railway Wood. This photograph was taken during one of the wide 'area' strafes by the enemy, and the workmen are seen returning toward Ypres (right) to escape the shelling. The line deviates to Zonnebeke to the left. In the background between the shell bursts is Sexton House and to the right is the old German gun emplacement, known as Kit and Kat near Westhoek Ridge in the foreground.
