REMAINS OF CROUY CHURCH. (See photo (1916) on previous page.)
From the top of the hill the devastated Perrière Farm is visible on the left. There is a French cemetery opposite, on the right of the road.
A trench, since filled in, ran the whole length of the road.
Cross the ruins of Pont Rouge Works. Numerous barbed wire entanglements stretch across the road. About 100 yards before “milestone” 79, and rather more than half-a-mile before Laffaux Mill, near a number of French graves, take the road on the left, which leads to the ruins of the village of Laffaux. The bombardment here was terrible, as the countless shell craters attest. Of the houses, only heaps of stones and débris remain. The ruins of the church are seen in profile above the ravine.
