Hi,

I would appreciate some advice as to how close Neuvilly and Inchy are to Brabiere near Douai. I understand there was a CCS at Brabiere in Oct 1918. Your answer with confirmation the identity of someone who was awarded an MC for an action at Neuvilly in Oct '18

Thanks

Hello,

Looking at a modern map Neuvilly and Inchy are about 4 km east of Le Cateau and there is a place called Brebieres near Douai. If these the places you have in mind the distance by road would be about 40 km.
