The hike on about Sept. 20 was thirty-two kilometers long, and finished
with a long, steep climb up the hill to
Fort d'Ecrouves.
The Regiment
remained in this area for six days,
during which time clothes were
issued and everyone was given an opportunity to readjust himself. The entire 2nd Division was resting in this area just before the battle at Blanc Mont Ridge. Web site with many images of Fort d"Ecrouves.
