Battle of the Sambre

[tatius]

Hello, I'm demanding some help if anyone can do.

First of all I apologize for my level of English

I'm from Spain and now I'm writing a theatre play about the last days of WW1, in the second Battle of Sambre

One of the characters is a soldier of BEF.

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me the name of regiments or units from the BEF can be operating in the red coloured zones.

Especially if any unit take part in the Battle of Thierache. I know that in this battle, French troops were the prime units, but maybe British units were involved

thank you so much for your help

Hello tatius,

Welcome to British-Genealogy.

Your English is much better than my Spanish.

I used a search engine for 'Battle of the Sambre 1918' and found this list. (Scroll down to 4 November.)
https://www.longlongtrail.co.uk/battl...ce-in-picardy/

I didn't check all of the other links which came up, but I'm sure a lot of them will give you more details.

I would suggest that you do a similar search for 'Battle of Thierache'.

If you search for Sambre on this site https://www.cwgc.org/find-a-cemetery.asp
you get three results.
Pont-sur-Sambre and Noyelles-sur-Sambre are the relevant ones.
If you click 'see casualty records' it gives you a list of the men buried there and the names of their regiments.
