Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Aerial photograph, St Eloi, near Ypres, Belgium, 12 March 1916. This aerial photograph shows trench lines and shell damage in the area around St Eloi, near the Ypres salient. Trench lines can be seen as long, indented lines outlined by the lighter colour of the up cast earth. Communications trenches run between the lines. Shell holes and mine craters form starburst patterns.

The importance of aerial photographs is clear in Field Marshal (Earl) Haig's dispatches of 19 May 1916, 'In the air there is seldom a day, however bad the weather, when aircraft are not busy reconnoitring, photographing, and observing fire. '
[Original reads: 'Photograph No KX.279 / Date taken 12/3/16 / Sheet 28 / Area 0 / Chief features shown:- CrossRaods [sic] at St Eloi. LONG FOCUS GERMAN LENS. 12" / Height 7500'. On the back of the photograph is written 'SCALE 20000' and 'TAKEN BY NO 5 SQUAD.']
