GERMAN BARRICADE AT THE ENTRANCE TO OULCHY-LE-CHÂTEAU.
In the background: the Hôtel-le-Ville and Church.
Return to the entrance of the village, take on the right the road which passes under the railway, and follow G. C. 3.
In the wood on the left were numerous ammunition dumps. Rocourt is reached shortly afterwards. Take a look at the church, then turn to the right into N. 37.
All along the road are small dug-outs. The Germans, in their retreat, left behind huge quantities of shells and empty cartridge-cases.
Rather less than two miles from Rocourt, in a small wood which borders the road on the left, the Germans had installed batteries of three-inch and four-inch guns. The wood contains ammunition shelters and an underground chamber full of shells. In the sloping land, at the side of the road, small dug-outs can still be seen. A little further on, near a ruined house, are heaps of burnt cable-drums, gun limbers, motors, etc.
