    www.cwgc.org/find-a-cemetery/cemetery/62600/TILLOY%20BRIT... "Tilloy-les-Mofflaines is a village 3 kilometres south-east of Arras, on the south side of the main road to Cambrai. Tilloy British Cemetery is south-east of the village on the north-east side of the road to Wancourt, the D37. ... Tilloy-Les-Mofflaines was taken by Commonwealth troops on 9 April 1917, but it was partly in German hands again from March to August 1918."

    TabooTiki Maybe captured equipment, like the MGs in the foreground :) There's another one to the right.
