Hull17KSLI Posted 25 July , 2016 Share Posted 25 July , 2016 Hi, I'm currently going through the diary of the 4th Battalion KSLI and have come across a map reference for the area. If anyone has a screen shot they could send me that would be great. I'm trying to find out the play of the battle in their sector. The reference is D 2 d 8 q. The names in the area include Varlet Farm, Kronzprinz Farm, Albatross Ridge, Tournant Farm and Bray House. Many thanks, Hull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger H Posted 26 July , 2016 Share Posted 26 July , 2016 Hull I have found 3 of the locations that you mention - see attached courtesy of TNA trench map DVD. The map reference you give as D2d8q isn't correct. Where you have the q shoulkd be a number. And the three references below are in map references V.27.d.8.1, V.27.b.3.4 and V.28.b.4.1.

Roger H Posted 26 July , 2016 Share Posted 26 July , 2016 The other locations you mention are further to the south on another map. I have shown square D.2.d Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hull17KSLI Posted 26 July , 2016 Author Share Posted 26 July , 2016 thank you very much for these maps. I thought the map code looked wrong, the handwriting is so hard to read! Luckily the key points are written in block capitals which is a god send when reading the diary. thanks again, Hull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
