Stephen Barker Posted 27 September , 2004 Share Posted 27 September , 2004 The 8th East Lancs moved their BN HQ to Elvaston Castle on 23rd February 1917 - 4 days efore my uncle died. The HQ moved from Maroc in the right Loos sub-sector. I can't find any reference to it on maps or in primary sources. Is this some sort of chateau/mansion? Does anyone know? I'd be grateful for your thoughts. I don't think I've heard it mentioned elsewhere in France - I know it's the site of a stately home in Derbyshire(if my memory is right.)

Stephen Barker Posted 27 September , 2004 Author Share Posted 27 September , 2004 SN From this it sounds like it was within one of the local mine working yards. Any other ideas anyone? Thanks Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
