Beyond Corbie, the road follows the marshy valley of the Somme to Vaux-sur-Somme.
On leaving this village there is a British-American graveyard on the right, by the side of the parish cemetery.
The road next passes through Sailly-le-Sec, whose church is in ruins. At the end of the village take the road on the left, then at the wayside cross, that on the right up Hill 108, past two British cemeteries. 2 km. beyond Sailly-le-Sec, the Corbie-Bray road (G.C. 1) is joined, which take on the right, past a large British cemetery on the right.
Having crossed Tailles Wood (notice the gun-emplacements) G.C. 1 descends alongside a quarry which sheltered a large German ammunition dump (photo below). 2 km. beyond the quarry, the village of Bray-sur-Somme is reached.
NEAR TAILLES WOOD. GERMAN AMMUNITION DUMP.
Bray-sur-Somme
Throughout the offensive of 1916, Bray was an important revictualling centre, and as such, frequently bombed by German aeroplanes. Troops and convoys were constantly passing through.
In 1918, the Germans, having driven back the British beyond the old front line of 1914-1916, occupied Bray on March 26, six days after launching their offensive. Immediately progressing beyond the town, they advanced along the Somme to the vicinity of Sailly-le-Sec, where the front line became fixed at the end of March.
