An Army railway was then running through Pozieres, and the station was marked by a big wooden sign painted black and white, like you see at any country station in England, with POZIERES in large Roman letters, but that's all there was of Pozieres except a little red in the mud.

I remember later, at the R.F.C.

H.Q., Maurice Baring showed me a series of air-photographs of Pozieres as it was in 1914, with its peaceful little streets and rows of trees.

What a contrast to the Pozieres as it was in 1917--MUD.
Further on, the Butte stood out on the right, a heap of chalky mud, not a blade of grass round it then--nothing but mud, with a white cross on the top.

On the left, the Crown Prince's dug-out and Gibraltar--I suppose these have gone now--and Le Sars and Grevillers, at that time General Birdwood's H.Q., where the church had been knocked into a fine shape.
