Blue Dragoon Posted 28 June , 2022 Share Posted 28 June , 2022 (edited) Connected with the death of 2Lt Arthur Herbert Britten 14 Apr 1918, attd is an extract from 8 Gloucs war diary. I've found STINKING FARM, DAYLIGHT CORNER and NEUVE EGLISE. Anyone any idea where ROSSINGNOL HUTS and SIEGE FARM is? many thanks George Edited 28 June , 2022 by Blue Dragoon spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearing in mind the names of the other locations, it might be that Siege Farm is the one located at N. 16. c. 25. 90 (Rats Alley lists two Siege Farms). Could Rossignol Huts be Rossignol Camp at N. 21. b. 8. 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrenchMapper has 80 maps of this area and some show Rossignol Camp, one showed a collection of huts but none used that name. Until I retired, I walked past the original wooden signboard for Stinking Farm everyday, on display at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
