Description
French peasants, carrying such household goods as they could in their hands, leaving their homes at Strazeele, beyond Hazebrouck. The strong German assaults before the village two days previously were met by troops of the 1st Australian Division and the battle of Strazeele became another check for the enemy. The wasted wheatfields and hop gardens around the vicinity were part of the former rest areas of the Australians, who regarded the Germans as an invader as keenly as did the unfortunate French civilians.
