The battlefield of Delville Wood, France, as it appears today [2006]
Ninety years ago, this was the scene of heavy fighting between South African defenders
and the German Army. By the end of the battle, which raged from 15 to 20 July 1916,
only one tree remained. Remnants of the trenches are still visible. (Photo: By Courtesy, SANMMH)
