On leaving Sommesous, the road crosses the railway on the level and goes towards Haussimont, skirting the Somme, the valley of which lies to the left. At Haussimont, cross the Somme and turn to the right into G. C. 18 in order to enter and pass through the village. A few houses are still in ruins, but many have been rebuilt.
CASTLE OF CHAPELAINE
ROAD IN HOLLOW, LENHARRÉE
G. C. 18 continues between the Somme and the railway towards Vassimont (where we cross the river again). Turn to the left in order to traverse this locality, which was much damaged, as may be seen in the view on p. [190].
Leaving the village, take the first road on the left and cross the Somme. 500 yards further on is the hamlet of Chapelaine, with its castle of the same name (photograph p. [190]). The fighting was intense at this point.
Return to G. C. 18 and turn to the left towards Lenharrée (54 km.). Arriving there, we have on the left (on the right in the view above) the road, which descends to the river. The many graves around indicate the fierce struggle for the possession of the ford.
