Memorial pond in the Wormhoudt massacre site, nr Esquelbecq, France.


An escaping British soldier was shot and killed in this pond after escaping the massacre in the shed, (about 100m to the right of this image). The pond was dredged a number of years ago to form the central mound on the memorial site (mound visible in the middle distance in the centre of frame).
