In the tank cemetery. The territory around Ypres is called the Tank Cemetery for there are still scores of disabled tanks standing on the battlefields. In spite of all this debris of battle the farmers have returned to the country and this spring are putting hundreds of acres under cultivation. Hundreds of them are almost entirely dependent upon American Red Cross aid in getting their homes started and in living through the period of cleaning up their fields and getting ready for the first crops. This house is a typical farm house of the region, constructed entirely from material salvaged from the trenches
