Kaiser Wilhelm II and Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria, who commanded the 6th German Army on the Western Front, inspect a heavy British field gun captured during the Battle of Cambrai, 1917. It was a British attack followed by the biggest German counter-attack against the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) since 1914, in the First World War. The town of Cambrai, in the département of Nord, was an important supply point for the German Siegfriedstellung (known to the British as the Hindenburg Line).
