:rolleyes: I know CROIX BLANCHE is close to Laventie but I don't know where it is exactly. I'd appreciate some information. Also if you know if there is a Croix Blanche photo I would like to know how I can get hold of that too.

Many Thanks

CROIX BLANCHE is north east of Laventie on the route to Fleubaix. South of the river Lys, south west of Armentieres, and due west of Lille.

On the NLS system Sheet 36 NW. La Croix Blanche is also shown on the IGN 1:25,000 No 2404 E, Armentieres, just south of Fleurbaix.

This thread appears to have run it's course but out of interest there are detailed hand drawn maps of the defences between Croix Blanche and Bois-Grenier for February/ March 1916 in the WD of the Commander Royal Engineers 8 Div. On Ancestry piece 1688/1-5 page 830/968.
