Sunken Lane near Guillemont - Somme Battlefield. Ernst Junger Storm of Steel was somewhere in this Location when he wrote July 25th 1916 "...wounded men went down left and right in the craters - we disregarded their cries for help. We went on...through a knee high trench formed from a chain of enormous craters, one dead man after another. At moments, we felt our feet settling on soft, yielding corpses whose form we couldnt see on account of the darkness... At last we reached the front line, which was occupied by men huddled together in little holes...My platoons position was at the right flank of the regiments position, and consisted of a defile hammered by constant shelling into little more than a dip, running through open country from a couple of paces to the left of Guillemont, to a little less than that to the right of the Bois de Trones. ...The defile proved to be little more than a series of enormous craters full of pieces of uniform, weapons and dead bodies; the country around, so far as the eye could see, had been completely ploughed by heavy shells...The churned up field was gruesome."
