Molliens-au-Bois is a commune in the Somme department in Hauts-de-France in northern France.
The commune is situated on the D30 and D78 road junction, some 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Amiens.
In August 1918, the divisional HQ of the U.S 33rd Infantry Division was set up in the chateau in Molliens-au-Bois. During that period, King George V went to the castle and awarded medals to General Pershing and other troops. General Bell was the C.O of the division.
