Snag Trench, Warlencourt Oct 1916 trench map

[chaz]

Im looking into a recent addition to my collection.

He was killed on the 12th Oct 1916. According to the A&SHI war diaries the 10th Btn were in Snag Trench, this would have been on the Butte de Warlencourt Offensive, which ties in with him being burried in Warlencourt British Cemetery.

Can someone identify Snag Trench as Ive looked on the Scottish maps but cant identify that trench.

thanks

@chaz, the McMaster map has it pencilled in at the correct location, running towards Snag Support to the SE.  Cheers, Bill
