Planning a trip to the Somme in October, would like to visit where a relative was seriously wounded with the 2nd Royal Berkshire Regt in May 1918 at Monks Quarry which is I have been told is in the Morchain area, but i can find no mention of it's location, any forum members have any idea where it is? any info gratefully received.

 

Cheers.

Hi Jock,

 

The line was miles west of Morchain in May 1918. I think you mean March 1918 (24th), which may unconfuse some members.

The trench map you need is 66D NW2 Morchain.

 

Cheers,

SMJ

No worries. Aye your luck is that it's probably the only map of that resolution missing from online sources!

It is defo available at TNA, as I have notes on it. Check for more zoomed versions as well; any time between 1916 and 1918.

 

Good luck!

 

Cheers,
