wenvoe Posted 22 December , 2011 Share Posted 22 December , 2011 Dear Everyone This is my first post on the GWF so please excuse any naivety. I am a renegade from the British Medal Forum...... I have two questions: 1. Does anyone have a digital version of the map with these coordinates 57D.X.27.c.3.2. please? It relates to the 4/ Middlesex attack in the vicinity of Fricourt between July 1st and 2nd. If someone does, and since I have no idea how to read the coordinates could they mark the exact location for me. 2. Although, I have Ray Westlake's book, does anyone have the 4 Btn War Diary for July 1st-4th inclusive. Many thanks in advance.

Roger H Posted 22 December , 2011 Share Posted 22 December , 2011 John, welcome to the forum. You will soon be hooked. I have marked the map reference with a green cross. Typically it is right on the edge, but you should be able to get your bearings. Map courtesy of TNA Trench Map CD from N and M Press.
