- Description
Showing a flat tree-lined road beside a river near the town of Peronne in the Somme Valley in France during World War I. The trees have been systematically felled and laid across the road to block access. A small group of British soldiers is visible in the foreground, working to clear the way. One is chopping off branches with an axe, others are carrying smaller branches away from the road. Two men are looping a rope across one of the larger trunks in preparation for hauling it aside.
