- Balloon view of the bombardment of Roclincourt, 23 September 1915. This photo shows how sparse a bombardment could be—especially in 1915, with the shell shortage looming over all plans—and how important aerial observation was. In terrain this flat, ground-level observation was nearly useless, and a house or tree used as an observation post would soon have been bombarded. Source: IWM photo Q42236.
