Calonne Trench enters the forest almost immediately. On both sides of the road are numerous engineer and artillery parks, ambulance stations, shelters, rail-tracks and gun-pits. _Three kilometres from N. 3 and on the left, 200 yards before reaching the fork in I.C. 59, which lead to Haudiomont, there is a French Post of Commandment (photo, p. 24); fifty yards to the right, beyond the fork, a military cemetery; 1 km. beyond the fork, on the left of the road, a hundred yards in the wood, the “Bouée” Post of Commandment (photo, p. 24); 2 km. further on, to the left, a French military cemetery._ _Leave the fork of Mont-sous-les-Côtes on the left and follow the road._ [Illustration: + _Photo, p. 25._ ++ _Photo, p. 26._] In the “Taillis de Sauls” the French first lines (trenches, shelters, dug-outs, barbed wire entanglements and observation-posts) begin; _on the left_, a military cemetery; _on the right_, a concrete shelter. [Illustration: ROAD FROM CALONNE TRENCH TO ST. REMY _German shelters and dug-outs._] From this point to where the destroyed road to Eparges begins (_photo, p. 26_) the forest consists of little more than blackened shell-torn tree-stumps. _Continue along Calonne Trench which, for 1,500 yards, crosses_ Senoux Hill. Here the spectacle is appalling, especially on the site of the German trenches. _Bear to the left and take I.C. 13 towards St. Remy. It is a bad road, but with care passable._ For 2½ _km. it descends to the Eparges stream_. [Illustration: RUINED CHURCH AND VILLAGE OF ST. REMY _In the background_: Combres Crest (_right_), Eparges Crest (_left_).] All along this road, cut out of the left side of the hill, are concrete shelters, dug-outs, underground passages, German posts of commandment, and a few German graves. [Illustration: THE CHOIR OF ST. REMY CHURCH _Note the German stone and concrete Gun Shelter. The Germans bombarded Eparges from here._] _In the valley, a cross-road is reached, close to the stream._ _Take the road to the right to St. Remy_, the ruins of which are seen in the distance. _Climb up to the church_ (German graves in the cemetery). Fine extensive view across the valley towards Combres and Eparges. In the church, where the altar formerly stood, is a German shelter of stone and concrete, which concealed a big gun firing on Eparges (_photo above_). [Illustration: EPARGES VILLAGE (_coming from St. Remy_) _On the right_: Montgirmont Hill; _on the left_: Hures Hill.] _Return to the cross-road and continue along the bottom of the valley_ (_I.C. 54_) _to the village_ of =Eparges.= The road crosses the original German and French front lines.
