Not about Chesterfield I know but many from Derbyshire fought here.
If anyone is interested just ask and I will post paperwork of a historians visit and  account of this battle with pictures as it is today.

I've not scanned these very well Pete, so you will have to look at the page numbers to follow on in reading.  :(

I gave all the above information to the Tupton Local History Society awhile ago and some has taken the time to set out the information.
I reckon they have made a brilliant job of it.
I had to just send the link as I think they have put a copyright on it.

It was the battle where my grandfather gained his DCM award

I wasn't sure if included the write up of the Somme Pete, so played safe and just sent you my stuff and just a link to their site.
I don't mind you sharing any of the information I have posted on here though - except for posts with my age in  :P
