Arne Vandendriessche Posted 27 August , 2021 Share Posted 27 August , 2021 (edited) Augustin The numbers on the aerial photo are the coordinates. So if you find an aerial photo and you don't know from where you just have to enter the coordinates on tmapper and you get a fairly exact location. I don't know if you can find other aerial photos with that. Arne Edited 27 August , 2021 by Arne Vandendriessche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arne Vandendriessche Posted 27 August , 2021 Share Posted 27 August , 2021 Where do you get the two aerial photo's? Arne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arne Vandendriessche Posted 27 August , 2021 Share Posted 27 August , 2021 Eecke was on map sheet 27 SE http://lt1.mcmaster.ca/ww1/wrz4mp.php?grid=27 Here you will find a lot of maps and aerial photos of sheet 27. Now if you type: control F(ind) and then you type: 27a SE you will find some cards. There are also a lot of aerial photos and maybe there are some where Eecke is located.

WhiteStarLine Posted 26 October , 2021 Share Posted 26 October , 2021 Hi Augustin, I looked at 9 or 10 maps and all showed it just like yours except this Australian one from April 1918. The 1915 maps show nothing here. Courtesy IWM / WFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arne Vandendriessche Posted 26 October , 2021 Share Posted 26 October , 2021 @Augustin Since there are several branches, it is probably a storage place or a place where things were loaded and unloaded. @WhiteStarLine nice card, I'm interested in Hazebrouck A. Dump and also in that pickaxe with that shovel that is on the bottom left of that card. Do you know anything more about this? Arne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augustin Posted 5 May , 2022 Author Share Posted 5 May , 2022 @ mébuCould you please send me the link to the maps, as well as your sources of information for Pallid Farm, it would be very helpful, I would really appreciate it, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mebu Posted 5 May , 2022 Share Posted 5 May , 2022 The 3rd Canadian Tunnelling Company diary for July 1918 has the information on Pallid farm and other works I have advised you of some time ago. The National Archives reference is WO 95/336-9. The diary is very faint but can be read. Let me know if you have a problem reading it. PS I have copied and marked the references, attached.

Augustin Posted 6 May , 2022 Author Share Posted 6 May , 2022 On one of the newspapers it says HQ, does that mean that the farm was used as HQ? Thank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustin Posted 7 May , 2022 Author Share Posted 7 May , 2022 It would be interesting to find the diary of the 9th scottish to see if they occupied their intended place at Pallid Farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mebu Posted 8 May , 2022 Share Posted 8 May , 2022 WSL Yes that's the one, made in Arques, still standing at Pallid Farm. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustin Posted 8 May , 2022 Author Share Posted 8 May , 2022 would you have the link to these cards please? On 7/29/2021 at 4:45 PM, mebu said: here is a map showing the locations of the works of the 3rd Can Tun Coy (on a map from the Australian archives) . Most, such that at as Butterfly Farm, seem to have disappeared. If you find them, let me know. Peter PS may I ask why you need the information? Is it a local history project, a book or article?

If you do find anything interesting in the area, many people on this forum would be happy for it to be shown. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mebu Posted 9 May , 2022 Share Posted 9 May , 2022 I'm not sure what you mean or what you are asking for. You have the 2 maps above. You still haven't answered the question above - the information you keep asking for, is it for a book, article, or local history project?
