11thargyll Posted 2 October , 2004 Share Posted 2 October , 2004 Hi, I am researching my great uncles diary at the battle of loos. He mentioned that he marched up to Mazingarbe on the "red road" I would be grateful for any information on its location, particularly any trench maps that show it. The modern map of the area shows a short track call "le chemin des soldats" could this be it? thanks in advance, Arch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andigger Posted 11 November , 2004 Share Posted 11 November , 2004 Just playing around, but also hoping to help answer the question, I found a similar question posted at the thread below. Although it also has few replies, hopefully someone can add some insight this time.

n cherry Posted 17 November , 2004 Share Posted 17 November , 2004 Sorry, never heard of a Red Road perhaps it was a route in coloured red on a map or denoted by red flags...similar to tac signs used by units such as medical ones to denote location etc, routes in and out. Just a guess as I don't think anyone ever answered the red flag question.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
