Gavin's Foxhole

<< Back to La Fiere

Details:

100 yards up the road from the La Fiere memorial park, on the right side of the road Marker A shallow hole marked off by a white chain.  While MG Gavin most certainly fought in the immediate vicinity, whether or not he used this specific foxhole has not been authenticated.
