Lille by Night German Drive to the Trenches
A first person account from Lille describes a daytime drive through a French city under siege. The narrator details blackened streets, distant shelling, a patrol in Prussian colors, and the eerie quiet before dawn as the car travels toward the trenches. Ruined houses, fires, a fallen tree blocking the road, and refugees mark the march toward La Bassee and the front. The city reveals earthquake damage, church ruins, and a market heap as shells light the night.
