At the cross-roads of the hamlet of Mâco, keep straight on along G.C. 26. The road runs between two fairly high embankments containing numerous shelters. Slightly before entering the village of Merfy is a cemetery containing graves of French, British and German soldiers.
At the entrance to the same village, on the right, stands a castle, severely damaged, which, early in September, 1914, served as headquarters to General Foch (photo above).
A little farther is the church, almost entirely destroyed.
At the church, turn to the right and follow the main street, which is lined with houses in ruins.
On leaving Merfy, cross the railway (l.c.). The village of St. Thierry is reached shortly afterwards.
