    A black-and-white photograph depicting a rustic wooden footbridge spanning a calm waterway or flooded area. The bridge is reflected clearly in the still water below, surrounded by pollarded willows and bare deciduous trees suggesting late autumn or winter. Open agricultural fields are visible in the background beyond the treeline.

    The region occupied by the 27th Divison in July and August 1918 was criss-crossed by irrigation ditches. At this irrigation ditch near Ouderzeele, Belgium, the British had built bridges and boardwalks so that troops retreating from a German assult, or advancing to counter attack, would have no trouble crossing the region.
