Damage to the town of Albert in WW1
The Basilica of Notre-Dame de Brebières church in Albert had a golden statue of the Virgin Mary which was knocked horizontal by shell fire in 1915. It remained that way until finally felled by British fire in 1918 in the effort to drive out the occupying Germans.
