The LEFT SECTOR at Richebourg

 This photograph is believed to show men of the 1/6th Battalion, possibly in trenches in the LEFT SECTOR at Richebourg. This is part of a collection if items that belonged to Captain Edgar Heathcote and may therefore relate to men of “C” (Ashbourne) Company. Many thanks to David Wilkins for generously providing the photograph.

Crescent to Copse Street – S.10.B and S.10.C.

The War Diary of the 1/7th Battalion Sherwood Foresters provides greater detail on the distribution of men in this sector of the front line.
