'The Village of ---. ', (1919). Scene from the First World War, 1914-1919: 'This village was held by the Germans and was by the tremendous intensity of the British Artillery reduced to little more than a mass of wood and brick rubbish, an astonishing testimony of the terrific hammering the British Artillery inflicted on the enemy.' From "The History of the Great European War: its causes and effects", Vol. V, by W. Stanley Macbean Knight. [Caxton Pulishing Company, Limited, London, 1919]
