| Comments: | At the beginning of the First World War, Sanctuary Wood, located to the east of Ieper (Ypres)
was a wooded area that provided shelter for soldiers attempting to return to their units. By July 1916, the sanctuary
had been blown away, leaving only blasted stumps which formed a No Man's Land between the enemy forces. This painting is based on a photograph in Library and Archives Canada's collection. |
