High Wood

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

Will keep a close look on this thread, my Gt Uncle was killed in front of High Wood, 3 Aug 1916

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.

Hi Bob. Another one HERE

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?

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.
