Battle now pinpointed:
Cropped from original Agence Meurisse photo shown at Bibliotheque Nationale de France's Gallica site, with following caption:
"En Belgique : combats de Haelen et de Diest : barrage sur la route de Liège "
[In Belgium: Battle of Haelen and Diest: Barricade on the road to Liège]
Pub. Date 1914 -
