Descrizione: The battlefield forms part of the British reserve line, and is still under intermittent German shellfire. The British assembly trenches, one with a very clean white cross "To An Unknown British Hero" (probably not genuine). The captured German trenches are substantially deeper and better revetted. The village itself is mostly rubble though the Calvary outside it is still intact.
The battlefield of Neuve Chapelle, Western Front, filmed by the British a year after the battle, which began on 10 March 1915.
