nilis11 Posted 4 January , 2020 Share Posted 4 January , 2020 B coy 9th Royal Scots were subjected to heavy shelling and came under machine gun fire during the attack on High Wood Somme. Trench map coordinates according to the war diary are S4a 1.8 - S3b 7.8. Also S3d. I need help finding these locations. Any help is much appreciated.

jonbem Posted 4 January , 2020 Share Posted 4 January , 2020 (edited) Hi Nilis Have you tried using http://preview.tmapper.com/ or Mcmaster https://library.mcmaster.ca/maps/ww1/ndx5to40.htm Place Map Sheet # Map Squares High Wood 57cSW3 S4 and see such as digitalarchive.mcmaster.ca/islandora/object/macrepo%3A69461/-/collection regards Jon Edited 4 January , 2020 by jonbem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteStarLine Posted 5 January , 2020 Share Posted 5 January , 2020 As Jon says, tMapper can plot 'from' and 'to' locations and draw a boundary using the Bulk Convert function: The entire map shows a view of High Wood from the closest road to your co-ordinate pair. Square S.3.d covers what is now the London CWGC Cemetery & Extension. NLS has around 13 maps from 1916 to 1918.
