Beselare Posted 24 October , 2011 Share Posted 24 October , 2011 I have been trying to find an aerial photo of High Wood for 1916 without success. The IWM Q61359 photo covers quite a large area including Martinpuich. Can anyone point me towards a source where I might find an aerial photo specifically for High Wood itself? Many thanks Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beselare Posted 25 October , 2011 Author Share Posted 25 October , 2011 Hi Egbert Many thanks for the photo. I was hoping that there would be a photo with slightly more detail, but I suppose this is about as good as it's going to get. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egbert Posted 27 October , 2011 Share Posted 27 October , 2011 Hi Bob. Another one HERE Mike But take note: the alignment is not correct, it is not facing north and the date must be earlier than my 08/16 aerial as there is less destruction visible. Anybody knows when the big crater was blown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egbert Posted 27 October , 2011 Share Posted 27 October , 2011 This is the correct alignment, High Wood facing North Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul@bolton Posted 28 October , 2011 Share Posted 28 October , 2011 The mine which formed the large crater was blown on 3rd September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egbert Posted 28 October , 2011 Share Posted 28 October , 2011 So actually after my aerial was taken in August. I thought the devastation on my Aug dated aerial is much worse (save it on your desktop and than zoom-in), but obviously this is an illusion.
