It is utterly impossible to locate the site of a street or house. The only remaining landmarks are the pond and the cemetery—the latter considerably enlarged by the addition of numerous German graves. Everywhere else nothing is to be seen, except heaps of stones and rubbish, beams, scrap-iron, and débris of all kinds.
MONTAUBAN. WHERE THE CHURCH STOOD.
At Montauban Church turn to the right. On leaving the village take the road on the left to Carnoy.
It was to the north of Carnoy that from September, 1914, to July, 1916, the front line became fixed.
On July 1, 1916, the British set out from Carnoy to attack Montauban, in liaison on their right with the French.
Outside Carnoy the road crosses a ravine, in which runs the short Albert-Péronne railway, and passes a large cemetery on the left. It next rises sharply to the Albert-Péronne road, which take on the right.
Two kilometres beyond the fork, take the road to Mametz, on the right.
