"The Brewery [sic sugar refinery] at La Coulette" WW I battlefield in the Arras Sector. The original DND caption states: "All that is left of the sugar refinery. October, 1916." The Sugar Refinery was captured by the 21st Canadian Infantry Battalion during the Battle of Courcelette on the 15th of September, 1916. This photo is in McEvoy's regimental history. The capture of the ruined town of Courcelette, France on 15 September 1916 was a significant Canadian victory. It was also the first time tanks (left foreground) were used in battle.
