Sherwood Cemetery

[zippy.72]

I’m trying to find the exact location of Sherwood Cty near Beaumont Hamel. Many 3rd Sept 1916 casualties were buried here before being reinterred in Ancre Cty

Hi zippy.72,

Following on from Michelle, 57d.Q.17.a.6.5 is indicated by the blue marker on this map - link.

Interestingly, whilst looking at Ancre Cemetery burials, I spotted this man  from September 1914 listed. I assume these should be 1916?

Have at some at the Body Density series maps on TrenchMapper.

Right click, choose Map ID Jump and use these IDs:-

ma_004810, Annotated with cemeteries and dressing stations etc. Marked "Survey Dept. M" on reverse. At 57d.Q.17.a.6.5 you can see the word Sherwo..., presumably Sherwood.

m_5_000767,  Annotated with disinternments and cemeteries. Marked AAM on reverse.

but see caution about the AAM maps in TrenchMappsr's Knowledge Centre under Body Deinstiy Series
