Remembered Today:

Cambrai. Round Trench and Eclipse II


Great War Truck

Recommended Posts

My cousin Alfred King Tripe was the commander of the MK IV Tank E3 known as Eclipse II and who died on 23 November when his tank received a direct hit near Round Trench on the plain of Moeuvres. I will be in Cambrai for a few days and thought I would visit the approximate location. Can anybody please tell me where i would find Round Trench?

Thanks

It can be found on sheet 57cNE1.E.21.b +d

Its around 500 yards east from the lock gate and meets the Moeuvres to Harvincourt Road around 800 yards from the same spot.1983697296_moeuvres-roundtrench.jpg.7b449019da783522bc12b8dc3e47cce4.jpg
