WhiteStarLine Posted 29 November , 2020 Share Posted 29 November , 2020 Hi Gav and welcome to the forum. Chasseaud's book shows them as marked, somewhere in the 2 squares below. Clarke is closest to High Wood in square 3c and Eye in square 2b, Image tmapper.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianmorris547 Posted 30 November , 2020 Share Posted 30 November , 2020 Gav Welcome This is from the WD of 1 Div HQ General Staff September 1916. (Ancestry). There was a recent thread about the attack by 1 Infantry Brigade in that month. Eye Trench and Clarks Trench are bottom right centre in S 3 and the map is dated September 1916.
