Don Posted 14 April , 2015 Share Posted 14 April , 2015 I have a map reference from a war diary I am trying to locate the position so I can visit. Grateful for assistance here. I have searched for it on the web, but no luck. May the 5th 1915, The diary says, four guns brought into action in trenches occupied by the 2nd Mommonth (TF) north of moated farm (shell trap farm) Sheet 28 Belgium C 16d Regards Gerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger H Posted 14 April , 2015 Share Posted 14 April , 2015 I think I am right in saying that Shell Trap Farm was renamed Mouse Trap Farm because clearly the former name was not ideal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
