Guillemont and Cochrane Alley - 2nd Suffolks - 18.8.16

[Derbys]

Hello,

Visit planned for August to Guillemont in search of Cochrane Alley where GGF Private William Allen was killed 18th Aug 1916 serving with 2nd Batt Suffolk Regt - never found and on Theipval Memorial.

I have copy of war diary which is useful but not too specific re 18th Aug, understandably.

Any advice in identifying Cochrane Alley - or where wounded may have been taken after action of 18th / 19th Aug 1916 would be very gratefully appreciated.

Thanks for reading.

Thanks Graeme. You're quite correct - I guess I was hoping for some additional advice on Cochrane Alley or any details relating to wounded from that particular action of 18th / 19th August. Thanks again. Chris
