France - Serre-Les-Puisieux - WW1 Somme cemetery

Set among summer fields of tall corn, is the WW1 Somme cemetery of Redan Ridge, Serre Road, near Serre-Les-Puisieux, France. Surrounded by summer crops, the scene is peaceful and idyllic, a landscape of rural France - far from the horrors of the battle fought here almost 100 years ago. The battle was one of the largest of World War I, in which more than 1,000,000 men were wounded or killed, making it one of humanity's bloodiest battles.
