Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Aftermath of an incendiary bombing in France, during World War I. People apparently making for the entrance of a burning building while fire-fighters with hoses attempt to tackle the fire through an open window. The building does not look like a house - its large scale and the height of its windows suggest that it was originally an industrial building or perhaps even a church - yet it clearly houses something of value to the people in the picture.

A less optimistic scene than many in official photographs taken during World War I, this image might nevertheless have had value as propaganda, demonstrating the courage of Britain's civilian allies.
