Bancourt Posted 17 September , 2019 Share Posted 17 September , 2019 can anyone give me a precise location of these WW1 British Army Trench Map references 28.N.36.a.4.8 and 28.U.2.a.5.3 If one is near to the old no mans land burials I think I have the identity of an unknown Lieutenant who is buried in the British Messines Ridge Cemetery.

Howard Posted 17 September , 2019 Share Posted 17 September , 2019 The areas are here in the 50 yards squares marked. Do you have a date? Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay dubaya Posted 17 September , 2019 Share Posted 17 September , 2019 28.N.36.a.4.8 certainly appears in No Man's Land in the first map ...red X marks the spot 28.U.2.a.5.3 appears to be Uhlan Row in the second map ...red X marks the spot between letters 'N & Z' Look forwards to seeing your findings J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteStarLine Posted 17 September , 2019 Share Posted 17 September , 2019 28.N.36.a.4.8 - the red square on the RHS should be centred around the blue icon - it's a little late at night here! 28.U.2.a.5.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bancourt Posted 24 September , 2019 Author Share Posted 24 September , 2019 Many thanks for this information which looks promising in terms of the map reference 28.N.36.a.4.8. As and when I can substantiate "our" findings I will be in touch. Bancourt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
