Frank Flanders Posted 16 December , 2017 Share Posted 16 December , 2017 Can anyone help me in finding the location of Bulford Camp in 1917, one mile south-east of Neuve Eglise, on a map of the era, and overlay. At this locaton the 1st. Canterbury Btn. was stationed early May 1917. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Flanders Posted 16 December , 2017 Author Share Posted 16 December , 2017 thanks for this ! Bulford camp is indeed indicated here on the map. I suppose the photos though concern the spot which is indicated by the little red flag ( not Bulford Camp) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acknown Posted 16 December , 2017 Share Posted 16 December , 2017 Re your last post, that's how I read it. I found a couple of relevant photos here: Photo 1 and here: Photo 2, and I expect that you know there's a cemetery at NE: CWGC site, but I can't find a photo of the actual camp.
