Destruction after the Battle of Messines Ridge, Belgium, 1917. In the centre of the picture is a squat, stone building, which rubble has fallen on top of. This building is surrounded by more rubble and branches. The trees in the background are stripped of their branches.
The Battle of Messines Ridge (June 1917), was one of the British Army’s tactical successes. It was also the first time defensive casualties more than attacking - the British losing 17,000 against the German’s 25,000.
The image is dominated by and intricately carved and inscribed church bell. The bell is lying in the bottom of a muddy trench. The trench is a scene of devastation and disorganisation.
