Flowers and Trees

Note on reverse: "Erinnerung an Etraye 5. VI. 17. Wie ein granatendurchwühltes Kampffeld aussieht mit seinen blumen und bäumen"

 

'Souvenir from Étraye, 5 june 1917. That's how a battlefield ravaged by shells looks like with its flowers and trees'

 

An often reproduced photo from the Verdun area. I've found conflicting information about its exact location, but it seems to be close to Fort Douaumont.
