Laurent Posted 5 April , 2004 Share Posted 5 April , 2004 Someone could give me more information about this memorial at Givenchy south La Bassee canal ? : Honor to the men of 55th West Lancashire Division. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Reed Posted 5 April , 2004 Share Posted 5 April , 2004 What do you want to know, Laurent? It is on the battlefield that they defended, successfully, in April 1918; which I am sure you knew already! I have some photos of it being unveiled in the 1920s somewhere.
