_Leave Amiens by the Rue Jules Barmi (continuation of the Rue de
Noyon), then, after passing the station, by the Chaussée Périgord and
N. 35._
_After passing through Longueau, the road forms a double fork. Take the
left-hand road in both cases. At =Petit Blangy=_ there is an important
Australian cemetery on the left. _After twice crossing the railway the
road enters =Abbé Wood=._
_On leaving the road, at the foot of a descent (15 km. from Amiens),
take the =Corbie= road on the left, via =Fouilloy=._
There is a fine 16th-18th century church at Corbie. Restored in the
19th century, it is the remains of a famous abbey. The town suffered
severely from the bombardments.

_Take the Rue Faidherbe as far as a house with brick turrets, where
turn to the right into the Rue Victor Hugo._
_Beyond Corbie, the road follows the marshy valley of the Somme to
=Vaux-sur-Somme=._
On leaving this village there is a British-American graveyard on the
right, by the side of the parish cemetery.
_The road next passes through =Sailly-le-Sec=_, whose church is in
ruins. _At the end of the village take the road on the left, then at
the wayside cross, that on the right up Hill 108_, past two British
cemeteries. _2 km. beyond Sailly-le-Sec, the Corbie-Bray road (G.C. 1)
is joined, which take on the right_, past a large British cemetery on
the right.
_Having crossed =Tailles Wood=_ (notice the gun-emplacements) _G.C.
1 descends alongside_ a quarry which sheltered a large German
ammunition dump _(photo below). 2 km. beyond the quarry, the village of
=Bray-sur-Somme= is reached._
