Chris Noble Posted 19 August , 2023 Share Posted 19 August , 2023 Hi Andy, Don't know if this is applicable but the 12th Infantry Brigade Headquarters, 4th Division, took over from the 10th Brigade H.Q. at the Cafe Jourdain on the 17th of July 1916 at Mailly. Kind regards, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Noble Posted 20 August , 2023 Share Posted 20 August , 2023 Hi Andy, I have just had a look again and it appears that the Cafe Jourdain was located on the Mailly-Maillet - Beaussart Road. All the best, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
