Trench map 51b Arras April 1917

[micks]

Hi all

I,m researching the 5th Cavalry Brigade at Arras during April 1917 and require a map of the following location.

Ronville via the Cavalry Track to the Harp.

Any help would be appreciated.

Micks I have sent you a PM

I have here two full size trench maps of Arras, date 1916, they both show the village of Ronville. One has a large number of named trenches, I haven't sat down and located Cavalry Track or the Harp, but no doubt they will be there somewhere. Another member might have a 1917 map tho. I will email if you require them.

Hi Micks,

if this one is of interest (showing German trenches on April 9th 1917) I can scan a better copy for you.

Thanks for your response

The Harp was a set of German trenches in N 1 and 7 which were captured on the 9th of April.

The most direct route from Ronville to The Harp and probably the Cavalry Track is through

G 34. a to M 5.d.

I suspect it went by a number of other names which would explain why I can,t locate it on the

map that I have.

All the best
