The Somme, Volume 1. The First Battle of the Somme (1916-1917): (Albert, Bapaume, Péronne)
Somme, 1st Battle of the, France, 1916; World War, 1914-1918 -- Battlefields -- Guidebooks
_At the crossing of several roads, 3 km. beyond Lihons, take the
newly-made road on the right to Herleville._ The large French "Camp des
Chasseurs" cemetery _(photo below) is on the left, about 1 km. this
side of the village of =Herleville=_ (completely devastated), _which is
next reached_.
_At the entrance to the village_, a "calvary" is passed, of which
nothing remains but the stumps of four large trees. _Keep straight on
through the ruined village to the G.C. 201_ (main road from Amiens
to Péronne), _1 km. beyond it. Turn to the left and return direct to
Amiens via =Lamotte-en-Santerre= and =Villers-Bretonneux=_, both of
which villages were badly damaged during the fighting of 1918.
_A short distance before Longueau, G.C. 201 joins N. 35, which take to
the right. Amiens is entered by the Chaussée Périgord._
