Description: "Slow Road to Victory/With the slow motion of World War I, a convoy of horse-drawn carts carries French artillery over a road near Ypres in Flanders, Belgium, in August, 1917. The war had started three years earlier, with the German invasion of Belgium in violation of a treaty guaranteeing the country's neutrality. Britain, France and Russia came to their ally's support, and the four-year war was on."
