Hi can anyone help please? On the October 1916 trnch map for Thiepval, German trenches are shown in red but frequently numbers appear, e.g 47, 49 etc. Are these numbers locating German mg or other significant points?

They are the easterly and northern 1/10th coordinates of that square ie 57dSE1&2 Q6d3.4 They are all located at junctions with one or more other Trenches.
