Description

A shell torn cemetery in Pont-a-Mousson, France. There is a larger mausoleum to the right pf the photograph. It is arched and a lighter colored stone with a flower pot in the doorway. Above the doorway it says "Famille Rock-C[u]ri" with a cross with a circle in the middle of it, just above the family name. The door appears to be fallen down a bit. There are various stone pieces around the ground after taking damage from World War I. To the left is a fenced in tombstone with a cross on it. There are other stone crosses around the cemetery. Trees are also on the outskirts of the cemetery. A large pile of debris is on the ground in the bottom left of the photograph.
