Smashed Renault Tank at the edge of the wood.
On reaching the crest (Hill 340), on the right, alongside Saules Wood, are two German gun shelters.
Further on, at the “milestone” 4 km. from Thiaucourt, is a concrete blockhouse (photo below).
From I.C. 13, D. 15 descends in a large bend across Heiche Wood.
One kilometre from Thiaucourt, in a ravine on the right of D. 15, there stood a large railway station and an important German military depot. On the other side of the road there is a German cemetery containing 600 graves.
Thiaucourt, altitude 750 feet, stands in an amphitheatre, in the centre of a loop described by the Rupt-de-Mad stream.
A large number of its houses are in ruins, especially on the banks of the Rupt.
Thiaucourt was a rest-camp behind the German lines. Numerous huts were erected on the banks of the stream, many vestiges of which still remain.
After crossing the Rupt-de-Mad in Thiaucourt, keep along the street which continues the bridge and rises to the end of the town. On the right, towards the last of the houses, is I.C. 13, leading to Jaulny.
