Remembered Today:

Cinnabar Trench


Broznitsky

Recommended Posts

I was very lucky in obtaining a German account of attacks and counterattacks around Cinnabar, Nun's Alley, and Nabob Alley on August 21st, 1917, from my American compadre Ralph Whitehead, and was able to share with him a Canadian account.

I wonder now if any of the Pals (maybe our other German specialists) might have any documentation, period photos, or modern day photos that describe or illustrate the area and the fighting between the Canadians and the Germans on 1917-08-21 in the area NW of Lens, between St. Elizabeth and Cite St. Auguste, near the road to St. Auguste, Trench Map Ref. N.8.d.

Broz,

Would love to hear the German perspective expecially any info the 29th's involvement on this day. It's a funny coincidence that I just read about this in HRN Clyne's regimental history of the 29th Battalion.

Here's to Vancouvers 29th and CSM Robert Hill Hanna, VC!

Regards,
