Thanks. Yes, that's where I have them. There is mention of the Verdun OP, which I assume is in the Verdun Alley trench,
I had assumed that the service station was on the site of the wood but is certainly just to the north west of it, yards away. The germans coming South out ST quentin seem to have rolled up the line

Hi JIm

That terrific, thanks. I have them in the front lines. Neufchateau position on the trench map, with support back at Lambay.
As you stand in the service station on the A26  and look at the german lines, you can see on the right a piece of ground at approx the same height, the other side of a re-entrant. on the side, amongst the sheep you can still see shell holes. I'm going on the 21st March. there is small road that should take me round the front of the position.

D company were at Batt. HQ, which Is Lambay Farm. THe remnants of teh forward comapnies may well have retreated to there

A great Uncle, ALFRED DANT was killed then and I intend visiting the area. I saw what I think was  the position of one of the redoubts on a flying visit whilst doing Marlburian battlefields, and intend taking my daughter for a more detailed exploration on the anniversary
