The same Agence Meurisse photo on Gallica site bears the following caption: Compiègne : un cuisine allemande capturée par les Français à la bataille de Vic-sur-Aisne "Compiègne: a German kitchen captured by the French at the battle of Vic-sur-Aisne" As Bain's photo bears Meurisse's negative number at upper right, Meurisse is the source. gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b9041923t
