GW Billington Posted 1 February , 2018 Share Posted 1 February , 2018 (edited) I wonder if anyone has copies of trench maps from the Sint Jin - Wieltje area of Ypres around the dates shown? The War diaries mention a raid on the German trench Kaiser Wilhelm around this time and I'd like to field walk the area where my Grandfather was for these 5 months. Any help greatly appreciated I am going to the area in August this year so if anyone would like headstone photographs from either Oxford Road, Weltje Farm or Buffs Road cemeteries then just ask and I'll do my best Andy Edited 1 February , 2018 by GW Billington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Riley Posted 1 February , 2018 Share Posted 1 February , 2018 Is 'Kaiser Wilhelm' the same feature as 'Kaiser Bill', a salient in exactly that area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GW Billington Posted 2 February , 2018 Author Share Posted 2 February , 2018 There is every chance Ian. I will recheck the war diaries. Do you know exactly where the salient was please or have a map with it on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
