Australian officer recalls ruins of front line fighting
A young Australian officer describes the front as a desolate wasteland with shell holes, duck boards for roads, and villages in ruins. He reports roofs gone, walls collapsed, mines at crossroads, and only nose bricks left in a roofless house while snowdrops persist as the sole living sign. He laments the scale of destruction and believes France will not be atoned.
