The Drocourt-Queant Line

We drew (sic) up on this, I don’t remember exactly where, but we were in front of Canal. And this was a part of what they call the Drocourt-Queant Line, do you ever hear of it? Well, it was an extension of the Hindenburg Line that they built later and was probably the strongest part of the Hindenburg Line. There was a canal there that was being built when the war broke out, but it was never finished and it was dry. Well, we were on one side of the canal when, on the day that they broke the Hindenburg Line. Now we started on, and that’s the longest barrage we ever had, was on the day of breaking the Hindenburg Line. And that I believe was the 26th of September, nineteen, about there, maybe the 27th. And we were firing from some time around four or five in the morning till noon. We had to stop our guns - take some time - because they were too hot. And we rested one and then another, and we were only firing two a minute, they got so hot. But they broke the line then and went through the Drocourt-Queant Line. And that was the end of the Hindenburg Line. And I’m sure that was about the 26th of September.
