| Picture No | 10224958 |
| Date | 1914 |
| Description | Rheims Cathedral damaged by German bombardment |
| Details |
Glorious Gothic architecture sacrificed to German 'culture'. It seems that gunners of the German howitzer batteries near Nogent L'Abbesse deliberately ranged on the Cathedral. Stained glass, statuary and interior masonry have all been damaged.
