Jervis Posted 4 August , 2017 Share Posted 4 August , 2017 Hello, I recently visited the memorial at Maltzhorn farm near Guillemont. I have attached images. Can anyone help read the faded script? I get the general gist of it, but I do not understanding French very well I am struggling to form some of the words. Secondly, I assuming that is sharpnel and shell fragments placed by the memorial by the local farmers. Is that correct? thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay dubaya Posted 4 August , 2017 Share Posted 4 August , 2017 The inscription reads: "Here stood Maltzkorn Duclerq Farm, destroyed in the fighting which took place on this spot from 1 July to 9 August 1916". i think the shrapnel balls etc were more likely placed there by visitors and not local farmers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
