Title
In the Santerre
Description
Accompanying text reads:
"The fine, grave simplicity of this drawing is apt to the broad, bare austerity of the partly derelict plateau of Santerre, one of the most northern of the great grain lands of France. The trenches shown were made and first used by the French and afterwards held by British troops. The graves of two French soldiers are seen to the right, one of them marked with the dead man's steel helmet. In the distance are seen the remains of the woods about Estrees."
