Photographs
Photograph No1 Looking towards Ramecroix from near Redoubt D’Eu
Photograph No3. The ground on the outskirts of Fontenoy at approximately the position of the left flank of the Allied attacking column.
Photograph No 4. Looking across the French front line. The ground to the right falls away gently towards the village of Vezon. Over this ground the “Infernal Column” advanced to attack the French centre.
Photograph No 5. Looking towards Gueronde from the point where the Allied column was halted by the massed attacks of the French cavalry.
Photograph No 6. Looking from the outskirts of Vezon over the ground on which the Allied cavalry deployed and the infantry formed for the attack.
Photograph No 7. The French position near Fontenoy looking from behind their lines towards the top of the ridge along which ran the sunken road. The ground where this photograph was taken marks the rough spot upon which the French batteries enfiladed the Allied column as it advanced over the crest.
