The casualty clearing station

Achiet-le-Grand during WW1

Just after the village was freed, the British army decided to install  a casualty clearing station composed with the 45th and 49th CCS and Achiet-le-Grand became a railhead for the British army.

These casualty clearing stations worked  until the German spring offensive in March 1918
