Title
A Via Dolorosa: Mouquet Farm
Description
Accompanying text reads:
"The little white heap of ruins on the sky-line marks the site of the famous farm. The slope up which our men fought their way to it is marked with improvised memorials to a few of those who fell on the way. A similar series of these tragic and noble finger-posts points the way up from the valley of the Ancre to the heights of Thiepval. It is to be hoped that monuments so uniquely eloquent as these Stations of the Cross of soldierly self-sacrifice may not be suffered to disappear."
