Derek Robertson Posted 2 April , 2011 Share Posted 2 April , 2011 Can anyone pinpoint the point of attack of the 6th Bn. Cameron Highlanders on 13th August 1916? I can't find a map with sufficient detail. Switch Line from S.1.d.9.9. to Pt 47 in X.6,a Minister Alley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connaughtranger Posted 3 April , 2011 Share Posted 3 April , 2011 Hi I think the trench you're looking for is Munster Alley and the area you need straddles 2 maps 57 D SE4 (Ovillers) & 57 C SW3 (Longueval) requiring cutting and pasting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger H Posted 4 April , 2011 Share Posted 4 April , 2011 S.1.d.9.9 is marked here with a green cross. Unfortunately I haven't the skills to merge the two maps! Same source. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CROONAERT Posted 4 April , 2011 Share Posted 4 April , 2011 'Before and After' .... From 'Somme Nord' dated 21st July 1916 showing the area... ...and (same map title) dated 14th September 1916 (unfortunately, only the Brit front is shown) ...

TEW Posted 4 April , 2011 Share Posted 4 April , 2011 S.1.d.9.9 is marked here with a green cross. Unfortunately I haven't the skills to merge the two maps! Same source. Roger Sorry, but for Derek's sake the green cross is marked at S.1.d.9.2 and not S.1.d.9.9. It should be 700 yards to the north??? TEW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger H Posted 4 April , 2011 Share Posted 4 April , 2011 Here is (hopefully!!) the correct version - which makes much more sense when you see the two maps side by side: Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
