Mametz, France – Rue de l’Eglise Before the Bombardment – Postcard Early 20th Century

This postcard shows Rue de l’Eglise in Mametz, a quiet street in the Somme marked by its prominent church tower with a clock set into the stone façade
Mametz, situated near Albert in the Somme, found itself on the front lines during the Battle of the Somme in 1916. The caption "Avant le bombardement" (Before the bombardment) underscores the tragic fate awaiting this tranquil village. Prior to the war, Mametz was a typical northern French community centered around its church, whose spire was a local landmark.
