Title
Spring in Rollencourt Village

"A typical French village in a valley behind the British front, at the time when the fruit trees begin to blossom. In passing through the hundreds of dust-covered ruins of villages where the Germans have been, it is almost impossible now to conceive that each of them once presented some such scene as this."

Bone, Sir W. Muirhead
