Canuck7542 Posted 21 June , 2011 Share Posted 21 June , 2011 Hi, would anyone have a copy of the trench map from the Official History or other source showing the section by Hamel where the 12th Royal Irish Rifles were on July 1, 1916? Much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desmond7 Posted 21 June , 2011 Share Posted 21 June , 2011 Nearest I have is dated slightly before July 1 .. but essentially the same positions. I think I have a high res version in work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck7542 Posted 22 June , 2011 Author Share Posted 22 June , 2011 Thanks Des! Its a sure bet that you don't have to cast a wide net when looking for information on the 12th RIR. I will send you a PM. Canuck 7542 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck7542 Posted 23 June , 2011 Author Share Posted 23 June , 2011 Croonaert, a big thanks for the maps! I can add these to the maps from your CD of Trenchmaps of The Somme. I am going to be there in 13 days, can hardly wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
