The map of Individual Burial Locations shows that they were looking to recover a number casualties post-war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair call @charlie2. tMapper converts to a modern lat, lon then searches for National Library of Scotland overlays at the modern location. The first example of 2 Feb 1918 is perhaps not perfectly overlayed, but the second one of Jan 1917 correlates with your comment, bearing in mind that a 1 significant figure grid reference covers 2,500 square yards.
