Hangard Wood
Somme, France
Mentioned: 1918
Somme Sector Named May 9, 1918, as the subject of "tales" a lunch guest brought back from the V Army: the scene of fighting near Villers-Bretonneux during the German Spring Offensive that April, later retaken by the Canadian Corps that August. A distant reference rather than anywhere Robertson visits himself; coordinates approximate the wood's location near the Hangard Wood British Cemetery.
