Near Ovillers

Three Englishmen in a support trench a half mile behind the intersection of the Albert-Bapaume road and the English front line facing Ovillers, late June 1916

 

As far as I know, the first depiction of the limestone earth found throughout Beaumont-Hamel, Thiepval, Ovillers-La Boiselle, Fricourt, Mametz etc as well as the entire Champagne region (grapes do well in chalky soil) and really just most of northeastern France.
