I wonder whether No. 46 'Newport Neuville-St-Vaast' is the Newport in South Wales (my home town / city) or one of the other 14 Newport's in the UK? I certainly haven't heard of this before, although I have seen references to some of the others here and there. Mind you, it might also be the crater on Mars called Newport …. only joking!

Hartlepool Northern Daily Mail - Monday 14 November 1921

Neuville-St.-Vaast, where the lst Battalion of the Monmouthshire Regiment fought so gallantly, is to be “adopted” by Newport, and an appeal has been made to the citizens to assist in the restoration work.
