A battlefield at Mesy during World War I. The photograph captures the view eastward along the railroad track with Hill 231 in the distance. The roofs of the village of Moulins can be seen at the foot of the hill and to the right. To the left of the track is a line of trees marking the mouth of the Surmelin River. American graves can be seen along the track and the fence in the field to the left.
