Tindall
Two Tree Farm, on the Sailly-Fromelles road, which I named from the two tall trees at entrance to Farm. This name was later put officially on the trench maps as Tuitrei Farm. Being our RE store, we used nightly to meet our working parties here to serve out their shovels and picks. Annotated on back of picture - Two Tree Farm - I was arrested as a spy in this farm!
