map reference

Recommended Posts

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.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!

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.
