Rusty2727 Posted 25 June , 2019 Share Posted 25 June , 2019 Hi all, I'm hoping some one out there will have a knowledge as to where Eagle Trench was situated in the St.Julien area i know it was in the region of Marsouin Farm but ive been unable to locate it on a St.Julien map from June/July 1917, my relative was there in the October/November 17, so i'm just wondering if Eagle Trench wouldn't have been marked on the map in the June or July of 17 or even if that particular trench didn't exist at that point? i've a attached a screen shot of the area of the map where Marsouin Farm is as a reference point, but any information or ideas would be very welcome and appreciated. Thanks Russ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty2727 Posted 26 June , 2019 Author Share Posted 26 June , 2019 Thank you all for you're help! much appreciated, i was just trying to work out a rough distance from Marsouin Farm to Eagle Trench. I was making the mistake of thinking both would be on the St.Julien section of map i had come across! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
