Description

The French countryside between Armentieres, near the Franco-Belgian border, and Bois Grenier to the south. The farm buildings in the centre, possibly part of the hamlet of Gris Pot, show clear shell damage, as do the trees. To their left note a line of hessian barriers designed to prevent observation by the enemy. This is the fourth image in a 15 part panorama. See EZ0172P for the combined image.
