	The route of march taken by the 2nd Sherwood Foreters, from Dhuizel to Vendresse Troyon, 19 September 1914.
	Pic 1. View from the Chemin des Dames, looking North-West (from location A on map 2). The Germans occupied the high ground in the distance and advanced across open ground from the intervening valley. One can imagine how the German field-grey uniforms blended with the terrain as they advanced.
	Pic 2. Looking westwards along the Chemin des Dames, from the front line of the Moroccan troops (from location B on map 2). On the far side of the road junction the West Yorkshire's came under fire from the Moroccans by accident. This was also the area that 'D' company of the Sherwood Foresters were later sent to reinforce. The trees to the right surround a farm which was not present in 1914.
	Pic 3. The Sherwood Foresters attacked from the direction of the trees in the distance, at the head of the Troyon Valley, towards the viewer. The trenches of the West Yorkshire's lined the road facing the viewer. The 2nd DLI were positioned along the dip in the road. (Taken from location C on map 2).
	Pic 4. View of the area held by the 2nd Sherwood Foresters at the end of 20 September 1914. Their trenches ran along the far side of the Chemin des Dames from the position of the photographer to the farm on the horizon. The haystack recorded on Wylly's sketch map was on the lay-by on the left. (From location D on map 2)
