But we know that during this time the 55th division's attack on Monthyon had failed, and the Moroccans, unsupported on their left, had to withdraw beyond Chauconin-Neufmontiers.
On the 6th the brigade, renewing its efforts, found Penchard evacuated and went on to the village of Chambry, towards which we will now direct our steps.
When leaving Penchard the Germans posted several spies in the woods, their mission being to signal the positions of the French troops and artillery to the aviators.
MONUMENT OF THE FOUR ROADS
One of them was caught and shot at the entrance to the wood in the evening of the 8th. He wore the red-cross armlet and on him were found pennons and rockets which he used for signalling.
We must retrace our steps as far as the fork of the road at the entrance to the village and take the road that runs to the right.
Immediately after this we come to the crossways of three roads; we follow the middle one which goes towards Chambry.
We arrive at the Monument des Quatre-routes, so called because it is placed at the crossing of the Barcy to Meaux road with that from Penchard to Chambry.
