CHURCH FAVRESSE
In Haussignémont (17½ km.), turn to the left near the church, and continue along G. C. 16 to Blesmes, which is reached after passing over a level-crossing.
In the centre of Blesmes (20 km.), turn to the left in order to pass in front of the church. Numerous houses in the village were destroyed by shells, and the roof of the church was damaged; but most of this damage has been repaired.
SORTON FARM
On leaving Blesmes, pass over a level-crossing, then under the railway. At the cross-roads immediately beyond turn to the right, then at the fork in the road, turn to the right again into G. C. 14 in the direction of Étrepy.
Half-way thither, on the right, is Sorton Farm, which was fiercely disputed. As may be seen in the photo on p. [223], it was completely destroyed. The Eighth German (reserve) Corps managed to take it on September 8, but, on the following day, the troops of the Second French Corps re-took possession of the ruins and held them. Along the road in front of the farm are the graves of some of its defenders.
