James,

A rather grainy map here. egbert probably has a better copy of the original.

You have probably seen this photograph here.

Two photos taken from south of Douchy which is north east of Adinfer (i.e. German side). One shows the wood itself and the other (just behind the same position) a concrete gun position with its opening facing in the direction of the wood.

Hello, first post here but I’ve just found some old panoramic photos of the Adinfer Wood front line ( I suspect? ) from 1916, official army photos, it’s about 4ft long and also shows the German front line in front of the Monchy - Ransart road, will try and post them up over the bank holiday, they have been rolled up for probably 90 years so difficult to photograph!
