Vimy / Artois Sector A city in Nord, France. Named October 18, 1918, in news of its liberation the previous day, October 17: German-held since October 1, 1914, almost the entire war. A news reference rather than somewhere Robertson enters himself in this stretch, though his own unit is working through villages within a few kilometres of it the same week.
