Sorry it has taken me so long to do this but as promised a few images in honour of 2nd Lt. Mariller and the men of the 2nd Royal Sussex.

And a photograph courtesy of Google Earth looking across the ground attacked. Basseville Cabaret which I assume was the inn mentioned is to the right of picture. The Bassevillebeek runs from the edge of the field in the bottom left hand corner to the small stand of trees and beyond.

Pete, as ever a star, thank you so much, I appreciate you taking all the time and effort to find and post these pictures for us, nothing like getting eyes on the ground

Nice one mate, hope you're well?

Cheers again

Jim

It is the least I could do after such a fine bit of research about Fred Marillier; I've been wanting to do it since you posted it. I'm fine, I hope you are and I will drop you a line shortly.*

*shortly is a very elastic concept in this context.
