Tks,

Just got this reply from Epehy....

Hello sir,
yes a commemoration is planned with an exhibition the weekend of September 15 and 16 in the village hall but it will remain visible all the next week in the big room of the retirement home. On September 18, the three British cemeteries will be honored (a march should join them) before regrouping at the retirement home in front of the exhibition with a small buffet to eat before going to the heights of the village where a fire artifice will recall the battles of today 100 years ago.
A conference should be added to this event as well as a small guided hike to see where were the different combat positions. In addition, we are still interested in anything that could be added to this program.
We keep the quote about your grandfather that could be exposed with his picture if you had it.
Cordially.
Michel Delaire

My Grandfather Lt William Hickey MC received the MC whilst serving in the same battle near the village of Ronssoy on 18/9/18. Interested in visiting on the centenary, but can find no events?
