Simon_Fielding Posted 7 February , 2018 Share Posted 7 February , 2018 Doing some work on the RFA Trench Mortars attached to 50th Div on the Aisne. WD says they were positioned at 'Craonne Plateau' - do you think that could be the feature labelled 'Californie' on the map below as it seems the only plateau in the vicinity?

Ron Clifton Posted 7 February , 2018 Share Posted 7 February , 2018 Hello Simon Almost certainly yes. It's a fairly well-known feature of the area - especially in connection with the May 1918 attack. From the German side, it presented a white cliff face - hence "Winterberg". Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon_Fielding Posted 7 February , 2018 Author Share Posted 7 February , 2018 That's great Ron. Thank you. The 50th Trench Mortar Batteries seemed to have been all but wiped out in the 27th May opening barrage: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
