Hi, was there a reason for the Corona trench map posting, there was no text with it..due to the size it was rather indistinct. I hope this helps......

Tom,

I was wondering that myself.

Skip,

If your interested, this is from the History of the 1/8th Royal Scots Pioneer Battalion to the 51st(Highland) Dvision.

Battle of Arras

"During the subsequent fighting round Roeux and the Chemical Works,the Battalion did some of its best work.It dug and maintained practically all the new front,support lines,and communication trenches,including "Crow,""Crook,""Cash,""Crete,""Corona,""Ceylon,""Camel,"etc.

p.s. I've got a copy of the Battalion War Diary so if you require any specific information about Corona from the Diary,please let me know.

Sorry guys,i just posted it if anyone might need it,sent it before wrote text,saw how bad it was and ignored it hoping it would go away and no-one would notice....as if?

It was a bona fide trench map from the 1/8th argylls museum.Next time will go to play area,and test .Thanks for the 'real' maps you've posted,am interested in anything from Roeux/chemical works april/may 1917 Cheers Skipman.
