unitedsound Posted 19 March , 2017 Share Posted 19 March , 2017 (edited) Can somebody please help me with a trench map of the area marked in orange. The map I am looking for should be as close to September 20th 1917. This was an assault by A&SH 1/7th which ran across from Varna Farm to Mon Bulgare then north to Bulow Farm and beyond to Pheasant Farm I believe. Bulow Farm has been of interest in the past on the forum but I couldn't find anything to show where it actually was.

Roger H Posted 20 March , 2017 Share Posted 20 March , 2017 Here are the two locations from the TNA trench map DVD - map dated 30/6/17. But sod's law the two places are right on the edge of the map. I hope it is of some use. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CROONAERT Posted 20 March , 2017 Share Posted 20 March , 2017 This extract (French surveyed Belgian Army trench map printed in August 1917) shows the whole of your (yellow and orange) marked area in some detail... Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unitedsound Posted 21 March , 2017 Author Share Posted 21 March , 2017 Hi Croonaert Apologies for this but I have just discovered that I need a couple of squares off the right of your map. You should see Quebec Farm as in my original post. It is just to the right of my orange markings. If you could manage same I would be very much obliged.

'Quebec Farm' is shown under it's French name of 'Maison de Saxe'... Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barwinmol Posted 28 May , 2018 Share Posted 28 May , 2018 Croonaert hi, On the map you posted are the numerals in Blue the positions of known German artillery? I only ask as 82-69,by the Steenbeek, is the battery position of D/59 Bde RFA on 10 Oct 1917 which is where my Grandfather was wounded by counter battery fire.
