VAUX POND (March 1917).
The road comes to an end at Vaux Pond. The village extended beyond the wooden foot-bridge seen in the photo. No trace of it is left, and the tourist will look in vain for any indication in the desolate waste around him of this erstwhile picturesque and flourishing village. It has literally been wiped out.
Turn the car round 100 yards from the pond, at the place where a narrow-gauge rail-track formerly ran (see photo below).
VAUX POND IS THE EXTREME POINT WHICH CAN BE REACHED BY MOTOR-CARS.

After turning the car round at Vaux Pond, return by the same road to the cross-ways at St. Fine Chapel (see [pp. 66] and [67]), continue another fifty yards, then take on the right the road to Douaumont.
