Récourt
Pas-de-Calais, France
Mentioned: 1918
Vimy / Artois Sector Where Robertson's unit is staged October 17–18, 1918, as the advance pushes toward Douai: the first stop in a rapid six-day, six-place sequence (Récourt, Dury, Férin, Lewarde/Roucourt, Dechy, Auberchicourt) that traces just how fast the front was moving by this point in the war.
