Maroc
Pas-de-Calais, France
Mentioned: 1917
Vimy / Artois Sector A mining hamlet in the commune of Grenay, visited repeatedly in January 1917: home to a British military cemetery today, evidence of how contested this small place was. The same January 20, 1917 schedule musters parties at the "R.E. Billet, Maroc" for "Maroc Defences," beside the ones at Calonne.
