A truly stunning cathedral, that is approached down a tree lined avenue. This was at the heart of various campaigns during WW1 and was nearly destroyed; it has been rebuilt and interestingly, work was taking place on the stone work even now!

Both the 1915 and the 1918 Flames postcards are the same apart from the date!
