This image is an aerial photograph showing a battlefield from World War I. The main focus is a trench system, which winds across the landscape. Craters from artillery bombardment are scattered throughout the image, giving evidence of heavy shelling. The trenches have a zig-zag pattern typical of trench warfare to prevent enfilade fire. There is some text in the upper right corner of the image providing coordinates and other information: "A3 FEA 975 62 L 202 666 N. JEANCOURT 16-9-18". It seems to be a reconnaissance photo taken on September 16, 1918, near Jeancourt, France.
