Eight hundred yards from the inn, to the right of D. 15, the Fey-en-Haye road debouches. This road is not available for motors. A visit to the village is interesting, as it was in the first French lines (distance there and back, 3 km.).
Fey-en-Haye is about 100 yards from the western edge of Prêtre Wood. At the end of September, 1914, a bloody engagement took place there. Up to the end of March, 1915, this unfortunate village was continuously bombarded, and it was entirely demolished when, on April 2, 1915, it was taken by a French battalion (169th Infantry). Its capture was the prelude to the last series of attacks which, after seven months of terrific fighting, ended on May 31, in the capture of Prêtre Wood.
Fey-en-Haye is now merely a heap of ruins. A number of trenches run through it, and a few shelters still exist.
After coming back to D. 15, continue along it as far as Regniéville, a village of which nothing remains but part of the belfry of the church (photo, p. [85]).
