KIRKY Posted 5 March , 2021 Share Posted 5 March , 2021 Doing research for future walks, we we looking at position of above on current maps and they indicate the old farm is now in a wood, Is this correct? ( know we need permission to visit) Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polar Bear Posted 5 March , 2021 Share Posted 5 March , 2021 What little that remains of the original farm is indeed covered in woodland. Specifically the isolated block maybe 150 meters by maybe 100 meters that is 4-500 meters pretty much due east of the current farm. Hope that helps, P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Regiano Posted 5 March , 2021 Share Posted 5 March , 2021 (edited) Top corner of Faffemont Farm is located at the northern end of the red line on this map (line is actually to do with 2 KOSB objective at the beginning of September 1916 - I have the death plaque of someone killed in the advance.) Followed by view of old farm area, now wooded from the SW. Edited 5 March , 2021 by Don Regiano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony I get reminded every time I go to draw some cash from the bank at Combles as I drive past a large sign, just before the bank, directing to Faffemont Farm. I must visit the area of the farm one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
