Bodies of dead Germans on battle field at Peronne (LOC)

  The date given by LOC states between 1910 and 1915, however, assuming this photo was taken at one of the two Battles of the Somme, this photo would need to be dated either 1916 or 1918.

• Retired at last said:

  The photo probably dates back to when the Germans first took the area in 1914.

  Here's a news article describing battles there in September, 1914 ("CAPTURED AT HEAVY COST; Peronne Taken in Face of Deadly Fire From the German Guns. 900 DEAD IN ONE TRENCH Battle Fought in Wheat Field ;- Repeated German Assaults Were Repulsed") query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=980CE2DA1430E7...

  This is a cropped version of Agence Meurisse photo on Gallica site, with caption: "Cadavre allemand sur le champ de bataille de Fère Champenoise " [German corpse on the battefield of Fère Champenoise] Pub date 1914 gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b9041757x

• Art Siegel said:

  "THE decisive action in the battle of the Marne was won by General Foch on the afternoon of September 9, at La Fere Champenoise, or on the center of the fighting line, which was near where the Petit Morin, a tributary of the Seine, takes its rise in the marshes of St. Gond. This became the fixt opinion of students of the progress of the war, but not until long after the battle occurred. For six days, over a front of nearly two hundred miles, were assembled on either side approximately a million men."
