THE END OF BOUILLY VILLAGE
(going towards St. Euphraise).
Bouilly—St. Euphraise—Clairizet
(See pp. [131]-[132], and Itinerary, p. [122].)
Bouilly was burnt by the Germans on September 12, 1914, under the pretext that the inhabitants had caused the death of two Uhlans killed the day before by French Chasseurs.
Turn to the right opposite the Church of Bouilly. There is a small cemetery on the right, just outside the village, containing several German graves.
On reaching G.C. 6, leading to Rheims, turn to the right. Take the first road on the left, which passes through a small devastated wood, where batteries of guns were posted. Cross a small stream, and immediately afterwards the railway, then turn to the left into the village of St. Euphraise.
Turn to the right in the village, opposite the church. The road rises steeply to the hamlet of Clairizet, which was almost entirely destroyed. Pass by a "Calvary," composed of four large trees surrounding a cross, then turn to the left into a small narrow street.
