Description
View near Defy Crossing, where the Broodseinde Road crossed the Ypres Roulers Railway line in the Ypres sector. The railway track itself had been obliterated by shellfire, but the direction in which it ran can be gauged from the cutting near Vienna Cottage, in the background. On this date the Australian front line of outposts ran approximately parallel to Broodseinde Road beyond Defy Crossing.
