Wexflyer Posted 19 February , 2016 Share Posted 19 February , 2016 I was lust looking at the entry for 27/10/1914 in the war dairy of the 56th (Howitzer) Battery, 44th Brigade Royal Field Artillery. It states: "Took up a position about 1500x (superscript x) east of HOOGE where the battery remained till 3.11.14" My question is this - what is the unit of distance used here - feet, or yards, or (as this is in France) meters?

As it was British Artillery, I would think they most likely used ' yards '. Regards, LF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
