Wendy Macpherson Posted 24 September , 2010 Share Posted 24 September , 2010 Hello everyone My 1917 5.A edition of PLOEGSTEERT 28 S.W. 4. Trench map dosnt have any allied trenches on it! Only a few German trenches marked in red on their side of the front, updated on the 18.07.1917 Do any pals have this sector of the New Zealand division that they could scan for me please. I'm wanting to see the names and lay-outs of the New Zealand trenches. Areas of interest: Western Front 1917 Au Chasseur Cabaret La Basseville Pont-Rouge Many thanks from your colonial pal Wendy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm off to France early in the morning, as long as the weather plays ball! Cheers Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(nzef) Posted 26 September , 2010 Share Posted 26 September , 2010 Hi Wendy, I have a copy of images that may help you, although the image with British Trench names is March 1918. I'll scan & send them to you. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendy Macpherson Posted 28 September , 2010 Author Share Posted 28 September , 2010 Thanks Tom Fantastic stuff I see Au Chasseur Cabaret just snucked in on the corner of image two. Will spend some time and look at them more closely. Thanks again, Wendy. Areas of interest: Au Chasseur Cabaret La Basseville Pont-Rouge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

towisuk Posted 29 September , 2010 Share Posted 29 September , 2010 And a crude attempt at an overlay on Google Earth... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy Macpherson Posted 29 September , 2010 Author Share Posted 29 September , 2010 Thanks Tom Oh WOW....... they are fantastic, your attempt with an overlay is exceptionally good. These give me a very good view of Au Chasseur Cabaret and La Bass Ville (La Basseville) Many thanks for taking the time to scan and configure these, they will be brilliant for my research.
