SJ,

 

Thanks for pointing this out

 

quote from the above link - "A study of surviving war diaries suggests that the incident took place at or near the half-finished trench shown by a dotted line and ringed in red on this contemporary RND trench map."

 

If the above suggestion is correct, then the map below confirms that this unfinished trench was in an exposed position as it declined toward the nullah

Interestingly, it remained unfinished even at the close of the campaign
