Havrincourt History

Our farm Havrincourt, originally known as Run 121H, was acquired and named by a returned soldier, Sidney Wilkinson in 1920 by way of a ballot. Sidney was a member of the Canterbury Infantry Regiment that fought in the Battle of Havrincourt on 12th September 1918. We believe prior to the battle he was perhaps in hindsight lucky to end up in hospital with a leg injury and that may have saved his life. We still keep in touch with Sidney’s descendants and are proud to uphold the history of the farm.
