milky Posted 21 October , 2009 Share Posted 21 October , 2009 Hi all, My grandfather was involved in the fighting at Cepy Farm, Fayet with the 1st Dorsets on 13th-15th April 1917 but I can find no such farm in the area on current maps. Was this farm demolished when the motorway to St Quentin was built? If anyone has info. or can recommend maps a source for of the time (if there are any) I would be most grateful.

Cheers Milky If you have Google Earth and find the N44 heading roughly north out of St Quentin, there is a road off to the left, running westerly, named Chemin de Cepy. This road meets another north-south road at a T junction and it's about this point that the 1st Dorset history shows the site of Cepy Farm Regards Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
