archangel9 Posted 28 September , 2013 Share Posted 28 September , 2013 McMaster trench maps gives the same reference - Brick Point Maricourt 62cNW1 A 9 b But again Brick Point doesn't appear on the map which is dated 1915 - http://lt1.mcmaster.ca/ww1/wrz4mp.php?grid=62c&map_id=159&view John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Milner Posted 28 September , 2013 Share Posted 28 September , 2013 Billy Brick Point is where the number 27 is on the above map. Send me a PM with your e-mail address if you want a map with the trench names etc marked. Regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ypres Posted 28 September , 2013 Share Posted 28 September , 2013 BillyH. Map shows part of the eastern area of 18th Division's sector including the lines assaulted by 6th Bn., Royal Berkshire Regiment on 1st July, 1916 - the opening day of the Somme offensive. Brick Point, Highlighted. Hope this helps. JIM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
