Description
An exterior view of the town's church. At the time Australian forces were engaged in the defence of the Amiens area and Brigade Headquarters and reserve troops were billeted in Corbie. Between 22 April and 10 May the town was frequently heavily shelled and the church, sustaining many direct hits, was badly damaged. Note the corrugated iron structure in front of the Alexandre Cafe (right) is a latrine/urinal for officers.
