World War 1. Somme Offensive. The most desolate

World War 1. Somme Offensive. The most desolate region of the Somme Battlefield near Ovillers-la-Boiselle, an obliterated village. The whole earths surface is torn with shell holes and seamed with lines of trenches, all white, because the soil here is chalk. Splintered trees in the right background are where the town used to be. July-August 1916. (BSLOC_2013_1_133)
