GERMAN CYCLIST AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE RUE BELLOY (1914)
Descending the Rue de la République we come to the Rue Bellon, which crosses it. We turn to the right, at the place shown on the opposite photograph, and a few steps further on, reach the Carrefour de la Licorne. This is one of the most devastated places of the town. The first view was taken during the German occupation, a German cyclist being snapshotted while riding. The other views show the state of the ruins in 1914 and the present condition.

We return to the Rue de la République. A few yards down, on the right, we see the charred house, the gable-end of which appears in the view on the following page.
