Remembered Today:

Location between Guillemont and Ginchy

Despite having a degree in Geography, map reading is not my strong point (to say the least!) ;)

I would like to know precisely where 57c. T. 19.b.3.7 is. I actually have the correct map (or at least the relevant part of it), but I don't understand how the referencing works. I know this point is between Guillemont and Ginchy, but it owuld be veru useful to know exactly where it is!

I hope some kind map-reader here can help!

Find square 19.

It is subdivided into 2 x 2 smaller squares. b is the top right square.

b is subdivided into 10 x 10 smaller squares, but the full grid is not shown on the map, only the "ticks" along the edges of b.

Count 3 ticks along from bottom left and then 7 ticks up.

Thanks a million - with this advice even someone as cartographically illiterate as myself can find the location I'm looking for!

Yes, thank you! I am actually going to print this page out for future map-reading quandries!

The location is not quite where I had thought it would be, but that is interesting in itself...
