On your left about 2/300 yards from the road, and running parallel with it, is a strip of trees. On the brow of the hill that you should be going up, stop for a good view of the battlefield. On your right should be an old farmhouse. Look left towards Fricourt. In the middle distance you should see a small British Cemetery in the fields. That area was No Mans Land on 1st July, where the West Yorkshires attacked. They were cut down by machine gun fire from the village and surrounding front lines. Between the cemetery and the village is what looks like a field of gorse bushes. It is the site of the Triple Tambour mines, blown here by the British on 1st July.

Unfortunately they failed to provide cover for our infantry advance, as intended.

Now carry on until you come to a cross roads - turn left into Fricourt village. There is a Commonwealth War Graves signpost to Fricourt New and Peak cemeteries. About 150 yards down on the left is Fricourt British Cemetery (Bray Road).

It is situated in the middle of No Mans Land as at 1 July 1916 and around here a company from the 7th Green Howards attacked the German lines, apparently without orders. Their fatalities were buried here in a large shell hole at the centre of the cemetery.
