David_Blanchard Posted 16 March , 2021 Share Posted 16 March , 2021 I acquired this photograph of a map of Messines area but I am not sure where it came from. Can anyone help? I would also like to know if there is a continuation of this map further north? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David_Blanchard Posted 22 April , 2021 Author Share Posted 22 April , 2021 Hello Bob, is this the map recommended by Brian in his last post? David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Bob Davies Posted 22 April , 2021 Admin Share Posted 22 April , 2021 Hi David, no, it is WO 95 2688/1. It is the map, or rather the part of it which includes Hill 60 (not marked) I was trying to send you the other day, that I could not work out how to send. It is from the 138th Brigade war diary (46th North Midland Division) 1915. Regards, Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
