4.113Butte de Warlincourt (Warlencourt)COMICS::SHELLEYLead, follow, or get out the wayThu Mar 20 1997 12:1023
    I'm looking for info about fierce fighting toward the end of the
    Battle of the Somme (Oct 1916) for a piece of land called 
    "Butte do Warlincourt".
    
    This was an important piece of land as it was a hill or mound in the
    centre of very flat landscape.
    
    I have recently discovered that my Great Uncle (British Soldier)
    was Killed in Action during this fighting and is buried nearby in
    Warlencourt British cemetery.
    
    I intend visiting the area sometime and would like to know more
    about the battle. 
    
    Has anyone got a book on the Battle of the Somme or WWI that discusses
    the fighting for Butte de Warlincourt in 1916. If so can you post
    some info of drop me a mail.
    
    Thanks
    
    Royston
