MaxD Posted 2 July , 2016 Share Posted 2 July , 2016 Could someone kindly pin point for me Hill 70 NW of Lens? I am looking at map 36C NW 1 where I think it should be but Specs*** have failed me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianmorris547 Posted 2 July , 2016 Share Posted 2 July , 2016 The Redoubt was roughly in the centre of square H 31. I posted a picture taken from the location looking back toward Loos on a thread called "Panoramic Photograph of the battle of Loos" in the Western Front Forum.

Pardon my map ignorance, but I get degrees, minutes, seconds, What is the fourth set of digits in each set of coordinates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
