Two photo postcards showing Allied dead after battles in 1917 and 1918 in Belgium and France.

“Engl. Trench Poelkapelle”, dead soldier in a trench that is in total disarray.

The Battle of Poelcappelle was fought in Flanders, Belgium, on 9 October 1917 by the British and German armies, during the First World War and marked the end of the string of highly successful British attacks in late September and early October, during the Third Battle of Ypres.

“By Fisme", rows of dead soldiers in ditch beside road

Fismes is a small commune in the Marne department in the Champagne-Ardennes region of northeastern France.
The Battle of Fismes and Fismette was a battle that took place during the First World War from 3 August to 1 September 1918 during the end of the Second Battle of the Ourcq and the Aisne-Marne Offensive.
The Second Battle of the Marne was the last major German attack on the Western Front during World War I. The purpose of the attack had been to end the conflict.
The Battle of Fismes and Fismette is unique in the history of World War I because of the extreme violence and street fighting that occurred, as well as the presence of storm trooper attacks and flame throwers. All of this culminated in the total destruction of Fismes.  Over the course of just a month, Fismes would be lost and won again five times by the Allied forces.
