What happened here

Throughout the First World War this Seine port was one of the main British bases in France, with depots, camps and a cluster of general hospitals where British, Australian and other Dominion nurses treated the wounded from the Somme and Flanders. Thousands who died in its hospitals lie in the St Sever cemetery. In the Second World War Allied bombing in April 1944 badly damaged the old city.
