Beyond Ginchy, the road is made of logs for several kilometres (photo above). It crosses a shell-torn plateau (Hill 154), on which numerous graves convey an idea of the violence of the struggle. In May, 1919, a large German material and ammunition dump, also a rail-track, were still to be seen there.
There is a German cemetery on the left, this side of Lesbœufs.
Lesbœufs village, next reached, was entirely destroyed; only a few shell-torn trees and (on the right) a mound of stones and rubbish (the church) remain.
Cross the village and keep straight onto Le Transloy, noticing the numerous graves on the right and left.
Of this important village only a few broken walls remain.
After crossing the village N. 37 is picked up; 100 yards farther on, the ruins of a large sugar factory are seen on the left.
Take N. 37 on the right to Péronne, passing through Sailly-Saillisel, 4 km. beyond Transloy.
