The Sucrerie
Pas-de-Calais, France
Mentioned: 1918
Vimy / Artois Sector A sugar refinery pressed into service for cover, July 18, 1918, as "b" Coy of the 2nd moves up: in the same general area as the Gouves/Villers-Chatel/Louez cluster Robertson's unit was working through that same stretch. No precise coordinates are given here, the same as the Brickfields: the sources describe a functional site rather than a single addressable point, and this entry avoids guessing rather than risk a wrong pin.
