I think Don hit the nail on the head in summarizing the points I was trying to make.
I will hopefully be able to finish this up later today with a quick summary using maps to show everything that happened on 8 October 1918 west of Chatel Chéhéry based on our research.
As far as hearing from the other Army officer led group, I agree that we probably will not hear from them in this forum but, we can let their work speak for itself. Last year I took photos of their story board at the start of the “York Trail”. It is a map with a summary of the way they see the events taking place. You will see that it is not only very different than everything I have presented here, but it is also in complete disagreement with ALL of the historical accounts of the fight.
How can this be? Your guess is as good as mine, but you can get a few ideas from carefully reading through their web site and news articles written about their work. Their “Report” is no longer available on the web site and it says that the report is being updated and will be available in May. The French version can still be downloaded.
Ok, more in a few hours.
