WOODLAND ALONG THE ANCRE AFTER SEVERE SHELL-FIRE 



Through what was left of these woods the British drove the Germans. The trees show the effect of shell and rifle fire of both armies. Few if 

 any of those still standing escaped wounds from shell, shrapnel scrap, machine gun and rifle bullets. The whole woodland will have to be 

 restored, but it first must be cleared nf shatttri.-i! trees, stumps and other debris.

ROAD BLOCKED BY FELLED TREES 



Thousands of trees were cut down by the Germans to block roads as they retreated and this condition which hampered the British advance 

 near Harrincourt shows how the fine trees which line so many of the roads through France were sacrificed. It will take scores of years to 

 grow others to take their place.
