Second Battery Move.

140 Siege Battery RGA.  15th March 1917.

With the Germans continuing to fall back the battery was almost out of range.  It was time to move forward again.  Two howitzers joined 115 SB at Le Sars and the other two were on the road to Le Sars.  This was an advance of just over 3 miles.  See Somme map of 30/10/16 for the position of Le Sars.  Corps Commander visits and praises them for their good shooting.  Heavy snow.  Lots of men needed to work on the light railway, extending it to the new positions.
The two positions marked in red.
