Details |
Aerial photograph of Ypres, with ruins of St. Martin's Cathedral and the Cloth Hall. Eye witness decribing the battle, he writes "The sky was lit up by the flashes of guns and the light of blazing villages and farms, while against this background of smoke and flames, looming out in the murky light over the crumbing ruins of old town, rose the battered wreck of Cathedral tower and the spires of the Cloth house."
