Bois des Alleux

Pas-de-Calais, France
Mentioned: 1918
Vimy / Artois Sector

The wood McCuaig's camp stood in, where Robertson opens the new year on January 1, 1918, driving over with Marshall and returning again that evening for dinner. No precise coordinates are given here, the same as the Brickfields: the sources describe a general wooded area rather than a single addressable point, and this entry avoids guessing rather than risk a wrong pin. Likely in the same general Pas-de-Calais area as the rest of Robertson's billets that winter, given V Squadron (based near Aubigny/Savy throughout 1918) is mentioned in the same day's entry.
