David Porter Posted 5 April , 2017 Share Posted 5 April , 2017 There is a rather feint barrage map in the 51 Divisional Artillery CRA Diary, but also good descriptions of the action at the time. You need a subscription to Ancestry or be able to download them from the National Archives. I cannot post them here due to Forum restrictions.

Roger H Posted 5 April , 2017 Share Posted 5 April , 2017 I too am interested in this. Of course Roclincourt is right on the boundary of 51 Division and 34 Division. My main interest is 34 Division so I think I need to check their CRA Diaries. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonbem Posted 5 April , 2017 Author Share Posted 5 April , 2017 I've looked at the barrage map for the 51st Div. It "almost" gets to the bit I want. I reckon I'll see if I can find the next map in the 34th Div artillery regards Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
