Title

315th Eng'rs Cemetery - Fay-en-Haye - St. Mihiel Front

Creator

Hoffman, Peter B.

Description

A cemetery is pictured with graves that have wooden crosses over them. There are two smaller, lighter colored crosses with darker squares in the center. Towards the right are slightly taller crosses with squares in the center. The squares may have the names of those who are deceased. Behind the cemetery are the remains of war torn buildings that do not have any roofs and much of the walls are completely gone. There are also wooden planks that are set up against the walls of the war torn buildings. The ground of the cemetery seems to be charred and a darker color than the rest of the ground.
