stuart rowles Posted 14 December , 2016 Share Posted 14 December , 2016 Does anyone have a map or plan that shows where this farm was circa 1917. I think it is near Langemarck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 14 December , 2016 Share Posted 14 December , 2016 Hope someone else can pinpoint, but best can do at the moment is Click Wellington [farm & pillboxes] Zonnebeke 28NE1 D 2 b 3.2 It's not marked on this map but think it was in square 29a (bottom left-ish) near Wireless Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CROONAERT Posted 15 December , 2016 Share Posted 15 December , 2016 For a slightly different view with extra detail, here's a selection of French and Belgian (which, in reality, are French at this point anyway!) trench map extracts of the area from July and August 1917...
