southafricawargraves Posted 3 May , 2015 Share Posted 3 May , 2015 Pals, Was wondering if someone knew the trench map reference that were used for Messines Ridge British Cemetery. As per CWGC burial returns. i.e. 57c.I.11.d.5.6 I have the last bit (i.e.I.11.d.5.6) but need the first map number and letter (i.e. 57c) Can't seem to locate what grid they were finding the dead.

Guest Posted 3 May , 2015 Share Posted 3 May , 2015 I think it's Sheet 28. I use McMaster Maps. Just enter the name of the Place/Trench in the search box, and select Place Names or Trench Names and it will give the sheet number. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 3 May , 2015 Share Posted 3 May , 2015 If I'm right, your location is 6 miles away from Messines Ridge British Cemetery, which might be right enough? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
