The full reference is therefore 28.T.3.b.9.8 If you enter this into the search box at The Great War British Trench Map Co-ordinates Converter you will see that the initial burial site was about 800 yards to the West of the present day Wulverghem -Lindenhoek Road Military Cemetery.

Phil Evans Posted 26 November , 2016 Share Posted 26 November , 2016 Armour Farm. About where the 0 is in the 40 contour. The trench map is updated to 25th September 1918. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clk Posted 26 November , 2016 Share Posted 26 November , 2016 Hi, There is also a good map in the 34 Division HQ diary (here on Ancestry) which shows how the line moved forward during the attack at the end of August/start of September.
