Hi all,

looking for Trench map of 28/10/1916 where the 5th Scottish were attacking Hazy and Boritstka trenches. Also wondering if any computer genius out there could place the map onto a modern day image of the area (something like google map?) to see what it looks like today or know the Lat /long so I could at least pin point on the goole maps

much appreciated if anyone can help.

Hi Douglass, using the excellent "Linesman" package......I found Boritska trench (spelt differently on the trenchmap) but no Hazy trench marked as far as I can see....

Trench map dated as January 1917..it's the only one that shows the trench you asked for, and alongside there are the co-ordinates which may help you on "Google Earth"

regards

Tom

This portion of map taken from the "Worcestershire Regiment's" site, shows "Hazy trench" where "Frosty res" is on the original trench map I posted.....

Hi again,

just out of curiousity what part of Flanders is the trench in?, i fancy renting a cottage nextyear and getting a personal guide to show me the exact spot/areas, was thinking of Ypres but not sure if the area where the trench is will be too far to travel?

any more info would be greatly appreciated
