World War One / location of HQ - 4th Infantry Division during Battle of Arras 1917.
« on: Wednesday 19 July 17 17:04 BST (UK)  »
Hi Everybody,

I'm writing a book about my Grand-father and I need some details about  his career.

My Grand-father was a Dispatch Rider enlisted in november 1915 in London (Lambeth) and he joined the 4th Divisional Signals Company, after his formation.

I want to know where was the HQ of the 4th Infantry Division when Battle of Arras ( avril-may 1917) was being prepared ? Somebody tells me they were in the Castle of Berles-Monchel.

Can anyone help me ?

Thank you in advance.

Pierre from France.
Apologies for my English  :(
