Clastre is a village in the Aisne department of northern France, a region that saw heavy fighting in the First World War. The record gives no date, and its title comes from Bain News Service caption cards that have not been independently verified. The Bain agency, founded in New York in the early 1900s, distributed news pictures from Europe and the United States, and its glass negatives document the press coverage of that period. Viewers may want to compare the scene against other Bain images of the Aisne to judge when and why it was taken.
