Two images from the Forgotton, Front. 1. Ferme Du Bois, April 1915 and October 2010 near Richebourg l,avoue.

Hello

just for info, la ferme du bois was not "near" but "at Richebourg l'Avoué.

I wonder if the modern view is "cinder track" ?

salut mes chéris.... pardon pour cet oubli, j'aurais dû retenir la leçon, mais il y a tellement longtemps que je ne suis plus assidu sur le GWF... pour cause de bas débit et de construction de notre nouvelle maison....

Bonne année à vous également.

Ceci dit ça ne répond pas à ma question concernant "cinder track", mais je suis à peu près sûr de mon coup.

Cheers... !!!!

hello all.

On a recent visit i was lucky enough to find the forming up point of the 47th Battalion A.I.F. for the Passendeale attack of the 12.10.17.

And the place that Frank Hurley took his photographs on the same date just below Defy Crossing.

Sorry.

Can not seem to add the next photo

Excellent pictures!

I always thought the Brit 1st line (attack start) trench is conincident with the northern edge/line of the shown copse, and the 2 visible cemeteries are already in no-mans-land?
