SHADOWS OF WAR: The Cross Of Sacrifice in Louvencourt, France.

LS The Cross of Sacrifice at sunset at Louvencourt Military Cemetery on the Somme, France. From July 1915 to August 1916, field ambulances were established at Louvencourt, which was nearly 10 kilometres behind the front line on 1st July 1916. Following the 1916 Somme offensive, these medical units moved further east and the cemetery was little used until the German advances of April 1918 pushed the Allied line back to its old position. There are now 151 Commonwealth burials of the First World War in this cemetery and 76 French war graves dating from 1915. (Footage by Tom Stoddart/ Reportage by Getty Images)
