Robert Dunlop Posted 2 May , 2005 Share Posted 2 May , 2005 Steve Do you mean the boundaries of the offensive called the Battle of the Somme? Or the geographic area called the Somme? Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve140968 Posted 2 May , 2005 Author Share Posted 2 May , 2005 Sorry Robert , what i mean is , when we talk about having fought in the 'battle of the Somme' so i guess it would be the offensive . Regards , Steve . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve140968 Posted 2 May , 2005 Author Share Posted 2 May , 2005 Many thanks Robert , great map ! Would you know whether 'the Morval sector ' around Guillemont / Carnoy would have fell into this offensive ? Regards , Steve . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebie9173 Posted 2 May , 2005 Share Posted 2 May , 2005 In a word, Yes. The battle of Morval, between Courcelette in the west and Combles in the east (Morval was just above Combles) took place on the 25-28 September 1916. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
