Pals...........In an effort to try to flesh out the movements of a chap I am researching, would anybody be able to shed light on the movements of the 18 Lancashire Fusiliers between March & May 1918

Edited highlights:

1st March: Support 'Pig and Whistle' Langemarck (Surely a trench, not the local pub)

3rd : Trenches, Poelcapelle

7th Whitemill camp, Elverdinghe

23rd Train Peselhoek to Corbie

24th German attack at Maricourt

26th Rearguard action at Bray, Morlancourt and Buire sur L'Ancre

Until 31st in various positions near Buire

31st -9th May Lahoussoye and later line at Somme Canal, Corbie

9th Bus Querrieux to Acheux

9th May to 5th June: Alternate between Hedeauville and line at Aveluy Wood or Bouzincourt. Make an attack on 1st June
