| Description | A fairly typical scene at the Front. Much of the land close to the fighting became muddy and waterlogged and, as a result, hazardous. Although the original caption mentions the railway line at Miraumont-le-Grand, it is difficult to see any trace of it. Sections of track are visible in the foreground along with the remnants of a bridge. Railways were an essential means of transporting troops, supplies and equipment across all areas of the Front. [Original reads: 'OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPH OF THE SOMME ADVANCE. What remains of the railway line at Miraumont-le-Grand.'] |
