This ties in with the SG being at the Battle of Morval, 25/9/1916. On the night of the 24th Sept, 2nd Btn SG passed eastwards between Trones Wood and Delville Wood to a jumping off point somewhere near The Fork in Serpentine Trench. They remained there until 12:35 next day when the advance commenced. The final point by evening time was a sunken road just NW of LesBoeufs. He would have been lost somewhere between those two points.
