Desmond7 Posted 16 December , 2004 Share Posted 16 December , 2004 I now know the location of the 'Crows Nest' in the British trenches immediately north of ancre. However, having never been to this location, I am working on written evidence/basic maps. The name indicates a piece of high ground? Anyone confirm if this is true?

Paul Reed Posted 16 December , 2004 Share Posted 16 December , 2004 I can picture the bit of high ground you mean, but have never heard it called that. The only 'Crows Nest' I know is a German position in the Hindenburg Line captured by the Canadian Corps in September 1918. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted 16 December , 2004 Share Posted 16 December , 2004 Sorry Des, the only 'Crows Nest' I know is a pub on the Shore, Leith. Next time you're in Edinburgh ........ Aye Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat McLachlan Posted 16 December , 2004 Share Posted 16 December , 2004 Or are you thinking of the suburb in the north of Sydney? There were quite a few Poms 'entrenched' there last time I checked, so that could explain the confusion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
