Vauquois, 16 June 1916. No trace of the village remains and the crest is a continuous line of craters. The German positions are along the lower part of the photograph and the German mine entrances and spoil tipped down the slope are just visible. The crater from the largest mine blown in the war, the German 50-tonne charge of 14 May 1916, is at the west end of the ridge on the right. (Author).
