Gazetteer of the Western Front: Locquignol (then and now)
Imperial War Museum photograph Q56272 “A Company of 33rd Battalion Machine Gun Corps after relieving French village of Locquignol, 3 November 1918. March to battle of Sambre River.”I could not get quite the right angle using Google Maps, but there is no doubt that this is the spot in Locquignol today. Note the building on the right, with its characteristic first floor windows and stonework, and further along the road a higher building with a pyramidal “spire”: it is the Mairie of the village. On the left, off this image, is the village church.
