Date

1917 AD - 1918 AD (C20th AD)

Image description

This statue of the Virgin Mary and Child was knocked sideways by German artillery in January 1915 and secured in that position by the French, with a superstition arising that the war would end only when the statue fell. It was finally shot off by British artillery in 1918 as the Germans advanced into Albert during their Spring Offensive. From an album of 26 photographs, showing scenes from World War One, Western Front (1914-1918), 1917-1918.
