Description: | image: The extensively bomb-damaged village of Fampoux. In the foreground are various pieces of debris, including rusty
barbed wire, bricks and two artillery shells, which are standing upright apparently unused. Further back can be seen the remains of bomb-
damaged red brick buildings, with bricks and masonry scattered on the ground. There are also a few bare trees and two damaged wheels are
towards the centre of the composition.
This village changed hands five times during the war. (Original title note, 1914-18 Art Catalogue,
