map reference

[Bancourt]

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.

28.N.36.

28.U.2.

The areas are here in the 50 yards squares marked.

 

Do you have a date?

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

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

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.
