michaeldr Posted 3 February , 2005 Share Posted 3 February , 2005 The above image No.7 with a title which seems to be ‘Marketplatz in LaBassee’ can be compared with the bottom right photograph here http://1914-1918.org/forum/index.php?act=m...&cmd=si&img=417 which is titled Grand Place – LaMairie_Le Kiosque Municipal These postcards of La Bassee where brought home to England by my grandfather (ASC) and must be based on pre1914 photographs – see the Gallery section for others With best regards Michael D.R.

mebu Posted 4 February , 2005 Share Posted 4 February , 2005 Michael, yes it looks the same place, from the other direction, with the campanile on the other side.....wonder what it looks like today? probably a traffic bollard? Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Reed Posted 4 February , 2005 Share Posted 4 February , 2005 The tall structure seems to be the concrete tower in one of the other photos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
