quemerford Posted 21 May , 2013 Share Posted 21 May , 2013 I'm researching great-grandfather's service in 2/East Lancs Regiment up to his death in May 1915 and have come across a number of locations in the Battalion War Diary which I can't reconcile with current maps. Can anyone help? Those I'm looking for are: 'Red Barn' 'Point Nogh' 'Pont Rochon/Pontrochon/Pont Rouchon' As can be seen, the same places are often spelt in different ways and it's possible that all of these were incorrect! I know these should all be located around the La Gorgue/Estaires/Aubers area. Regards, Duncan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Michelle Young Posted 21 May , 2013 Admin Share Posted 21 May , 2013 Duncan, a bit of a shot in the dark, but could Point Nogh be Pont Logis? Michelle PS quemerford as in Calne? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mebu Posted 21 May , 2013 Share Posted 21 May , 2013 Pont Rochon is a half mile east of Lestrem. There is a Red House near Laventie....possible? Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quemerford Posted 21 May , 2013 Author Share Posted 21 May , 2013 Many thanks all. I think Point 'Nogh' is in fact 'Logy' - that's my poor reading of the War Diary! And yes - Quemerford as in Cherhill... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
