Allan1892 Posted 15 March , 2023 Posted 15 March , 2023 One of my ancestors, Richard Lucock Alnwick (#32079) was KIA on the 16th September 1916. I have been reading the war diaries for this action and the battalion were attacking Gird trench (near Guedecourt). Can anyone point me to a trench map which shows Gird trench?
