The surrounding hills and the simplicity of the structure suggest a military or supply operation central to wartime activities on the Western Front, crucial for the movement and storage of goods and equipment.During World War I, supply depots like the one shown in the photograph were vital for maintaining the supply chain for troops at the front.
