COMMUNICATING TRENCH IN ONE OF THE STREETS OF CROUY IN 1916.
At the back stands the Church.
(Compare with photo on next page taken in 1919.)
On leaving Soissons, cross the bridge over the Aisne, then take the Avenue de Laon and N. 2. After St. Paul, pass under the railway, then over the level-crossing before coming to Crouy, which suffered severely from the bombardment. The church is on the left, near the small river.
On leaving the village, the road rises towards Crouy Plateau, passing between numerous military organizations and shelters in the hill-sides.
