LDT006 Posted 4 January , 2023 Share Posted 4 January , 2023 The map reference should read: O.2.d.8.5 Monchy is on map 51B.SW, below is an extract which shows the hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1st Royal Dublin Fusiliers assaulted it on the 24th April 1917 The full map reference is 51b.O.2.d.8.5. Pop that into TrenchMapper in the panel on the left and you will get 323 fully georeferenced maps that cover the area. For an explanation on map references, have a look a TrenchMapper's Help->Knowledge Centre and click on How to Read a Trench Map. I hope that helps.
