[Benjamin Randow @LiridonExcbz]

La 1ère guerre mondiale fut terrible pour Noyon, ravagée à 90% et occupée par l'armée allemande pendant près de 4 ans. Les photos prises après guerre témoignent de l'ampleur des destructions et du relèvement qu'il a fallu accomplir avant une nouvelle guerre, nouvelle occupation.
