Armistice Day, Lochnagar Crater, La Boisselle, Somme, France.

11 November 2018. Lochnagar Crater, La Boisselle, Somme, France.

Gathered in the pouring rain, those who perished in the Great War are remembered by British and French civilians on the 100th anniversary of the Great War.

Lochnagar Crater was created by the Tunnelling Companies of the Royal Engineers under a German field fortification. The explosion was the loudest man made noise created at that time, purportedly heard in London.
