Notes |
Damage to the town of Ypres, Western Front, February 1916. A panorama of the city. Views of the main square taken from the area of Hellfire Corner. The Cloth Hall, most of it still intact. Exterior and interior scenes of the cathedral, showing the west door and the fact that the organ has been destroyed. British soldiers pet two black and white puppies abandoned in the ruins. A longer version with the same title, now held as IWM 344, was released in 1918, showing scenes up to the end of the war.
