‘… …this summer, Parisians are descending underground at the Montparnasse-Bienvenüe station just to see the extraordinary fresco, measuring 132 metres, by Joe Sacco… … ‘

I have not had the chance to visit Montparnasse station to view this fresco, but I do hope that it also depicts the participation and the sacrifices of the Indian troops in the battle of Somme. Please see the following photo of Indian bicycle troops at a crossroads on the Fricourt-Mametz Road, Somme, France.
