Description
Five unidentified soldiers working on a Daimler motor lorry which has been damaged by shellfire, near Taylor's Dump on the Menin Road in the Ypres sector. The damage was the result of a high velocity shell which burst off the corduroy track three minutes before the picture was taken. The bonnet and steering wheel of the motor lorry were broken and the driver wounded, but the lorry, which was at a standstill, did not move its position. Another shell burst among the trees in the rear while this photograph was being taken.
