List of Places (?)

[ackimzey]

The following is a numbered list from a small notebook belonging to Parvin Carter, M.D. who was posted to a hospital in Juilly near Paris in August of 1918. The notebook details part of a trip he made to Chateau Thierry in December, 1918. Some of the entries are clearly places but some I can't confirm on a map. If anyone can offer suggestions I would really appreciate it. The list appears on the last pages on the notebook and I've done my best with his hand writing.

If you use Google Earth, the following come up on the map. Crezancy (note the letter "a" instead of "o") , Mont St Pere, and Jaulgonne are all to the east of Chateau Thierry. Fismes is in the Champagne region on the N31 between Soissons and Reims. Bar -de- Luc is near Verdun. I think Racourt should read Rancourt, which is on the Somme, on the N17 Bapaume - Perrone Road. Fere-en-Tardenois is to the west of Reims as is Coincy. Chat T is Chateau Thierry. Mezy is North West of Paris.

Thank you so much, Terry. I'm trying my best to preserve the materials left by both Grover and Parvin Carter (brothers) for my family. And I want every detail recorded as accurately as possible. I could not have done this without all the help I received from many forum members. Grover's diary is complete and this is the last notebook that Parvin left. My cousins are all in debt to all of you.

One more question, is there any record of a Canadian Hospital (or any hospital) at Jonchery ? I couldn't find any mention in the "list of hospitals" thread.

Thanks,

Ann,

If you wish, I will look once this weekend (for those you don't have located) in the "Michelin - France Atlas Routier & Touristique". All the villages are noted in that book.

That would be great, Marc, thank you. I want to be sure everything is spelled correctly. And I am curious about the entry "Jonchery R.C. Hosp." I think it means Royal Canadian Hospital, but I can't find any reference to a hospital in Jonchery.
