recovery
After ‘hosting’ major infantry fighting
in two World Wars…
…the recovery process still continues in
France’s Western Front Battlefields.
Many towns have small ammunition dumps
similar to this one.
These dumps contain unexploded ammunition
and shrapnel which farmers recover
while working their fields.
Dumps are emptied every three to four weeks
according to our guide.
Wow, neat bit of history
