"American advance on the Cambrai-St. Quentin front. Retreating Germans destroy their 'Big Bertha' gun and emplacement rather than letting it fall into the hands of the Americans and Australians. The broken barrel is 45 feet long with a inch bore. Placed in Cappy-sur-Somme to target Amiens, it was never used for its intended purpose."
