Fattyowls Posted 1 January , 2023 Share Posted 1 January , 2023 I've always pronounced it loss while Hulluch I tend to pronounce 'ooloosh' but I could be very very wrong. I'd be very interested to hear @gilles views and those of @battle of loos. There is no substitute for local knowledge and both gentlemen are regular contributors. Bonne année if they look in. Pete.

EastSurrey Posted 1 January , 2023 Author Share Posted 1 January , 2023 Thanks, Pete. I had the same pronunciations in mind, but was unsure they were correct. I'll contact Gilles as you suggest.

I forgot about the last h in Hulluch not being aspirated. Schoolboy error. Happy new year to you, 'im indoors and the family. Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
