Description

Buire-sur-Ancre area, France, 1918-05-27. In the foreground, a road cuts through fields west of Buire sidings on the Albert-Amiens railway line near Dernancourt. Along the line of the road, there is a crossroads near a tree (left) in Sector D.24.c and a road junction near another tree (right) in Sector D.30.a. A series of huts stands along the sidings in the midground (left), while two faint lines running among darker lines on the hill rising above the tall trees standing along the banks of the River Ancre (not in view) in the background constitute the lower and higher loops of an old broad-guage railway. Standing on the horizon (right) in Sector K.10.a are two large barns. The tops of some grave monuments and a crucifix erected in a cemetery are visible in the foreground (right). Part 5 of a twelve-part panorama. (Donor H. Graham) (Original print housed in AWM Archive Store)
