Hi all 

Third Krithia jumping off point,  Trotman trench ?

Parsons Road trench line  - was that taken after 4th June ? 

Thanks

I think that is correct. Accounts are varied and often lack precise detail. My understanding is that what became Parsons Road (which was only a few yards in advance of Trotman Road), was consolidated into the new, post-3rd Krithia RND front line along with the Nelson Avenue link across Achi Baba Nullah and forward to the right of the Manchester Brigade. This consolidation work took place on 5 and 6 June. A small gain for huge losses.

Trotman Road became the RNDstart-line for the Action of Achi Baba Nullah on 13 July.
