Chris Posted 6 July , 2004 Share Posted 6 July , 2004 Hi all. I am interested in the movements of a soldier in mid - late Sept 1916. Constance Trench is repeatedly mentioned and i am sure it is between Ovillers and Thiepval. Nearby trenches mentioned are Joseph trench and Brimstone and Border. Would anyone be kind enough to post a map showing this area, it would be greatly appreciated. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted 7 July , 2004 Author Share Posted 7 July , 2004 Dave Brilliant, thank you ever so much for that posting. Would you mind telling me which map these extracts are from so that i can order a copy from the WFA, and therefore plot the movements of the soldier i am researching, as they progressed slowly forward from Ovillers during September 1916.

Cheers Chris No problem. They're actually from two maps. The top one is from57d SE1+2 Beaumont edition 2D (15/8/16), and the other is from 57d SE4 Ovillers, edition 3A (1/9/16). Dave.
