Notre-Dame-de-Lorette
Pas-de-Calais, France
Mentioned: 1917
Vimy / Artois Sector The hilltop site, fought over since 1915, where Robertson helps stake out the future chapel site on September 20, 1917: years before the Basilica of Notre-Dame-de-Lorette was built there (1921-1927). A planned August 26 visit fell through first ("the war was off for a couple of days").
