Arras Cambrai road

Often names of cities are used to indicate a road. Is it useful to tag these cities?

I always have. Those tags will give an indication of where the unit is, especially when the other place names on a page may be trenches or landmarks that no longer exist.

Yes, Cynthia's right. It's useful to tag them.
