Shown below is a Google map covering the area between Corbie on the Somme river, and Talus Boise, just outside the hamlet of Carnoy. The route that 2nd Regt followed is shown by the red line. A lot of this movement was dictated by transport availability windows in the area which was extremely congested.

A few hundred meters north-east of Carnoy – Talus Boise. The village lies to the left of this view. 2nd Regt camped here after the long march from Corbie/Grove Town/Bray The front line was less than 2 km`s away ( behind this photo ) at that time ( 4 July 1916).

For a better overview perspective, the view from Maricourt ridge, overlooking Talus Boise. On 7 July, 2nd A and C Coy`s left the northern tip of the wood and descended down onto the tracks, whose path ( today ) is shown as a row of low bushes curving to the right. This area was known as Train Alley. The wood in the background about 4 Km`s distant is Bernafay Wood.
