sassenach Posted 11 January , 2018 Posted 11 January , 2018 (edited) Does anyone happen to know the exact location of the Allied front line at the start of Third Ypres, specifically where it crossed the Menin Road? Also, was the ground now occupied by Sanctuary Wood Cemetery in Allied or German hands? (or perhaps in No-Mans-Land) Edited 11 January , 2018 by sassenach
CROONAERT Posted 12 January , 2018 Posted 12 January , 2018 Here's a trench map image (correct to 30th June) showing the lines. The red triangle towards the bottom of the image is the location of Sanctuary Wood Cemetery... Dave
CROONAERT Posted 12 January , 2018 Posted 12 January , 2018 (edited) ... and a more simplified (and, therefore, possibly clearer view of the British front line?) French trench map of June 1917... Edited 12 January , 2018 by CROONAERT
sassenach Posted 12 January , 2018 Author Posted 12 January , 2018 Many thanks for all of those, Dave. Much appreciated.
