Year: 1918
Runtime: 4 mins
Description: The damage is fairly minor, involving houses with a wall missing and similar ruins. British soldiers walk through the ruins and a marching column comes down the street. A wagon-load of British troops comes up another street, possibly in Vlamertinghe rather than Poperinghe.
Damage to Poperinghe either by shelling or bombing, Western Front, probably during April 1918.
