Description
Medical Details of the 22nd Battalion, passing along the old German train track, which skirted the village of Clery, on their way to the new position between Clery and Halle, which troops of the 2nd Division took up after crossing the Somme and passing through the 3rd Divisional sector for the attack on Mont St Quentin. This move became necessary owing to the impassable state of the Somme marshes and the absence of bridges, for, apart from smashing existing structures, the enemy concentrated shellfire on all likely crossing points. This is a stereo image. One half of this image is held at E03179.
