WhiteStarLine Posted 10 October , 2023 Share Posted 10 October , 2023 I wonder if he was stationed at Wagon Loading Post? The unit war diary for 26/10/17 reports a similar thing to his account.

ozvere Posted 10 October , 2023 Share Posted 10 October , 2023 WhiteStarLine Thanks for your post. From the attached map from: https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/C1338699 Appendix 6I think he was up the road a bit at the Soda Water Factory. That's up near the crater and also he was a stretcher bearer so would be near the action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AOK4 Posted 10 October , 2023 Share Posted 10 October , 2023 As far as I know, there was no large crater in the area near the wagon loading post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evanrichards Posted Sunday at 08:43 Share Posted Sunday at 08:43 Does anyone know of any top down, birds eye view style images of the trenches around Zonnebeke in April 1915? I think it may be unlikely but let me know if you know of any!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it may be unlikely but let me know if you know of any!! In early 1915 people were still hanging over the side with their own cameras and very few of those photos survived. There are 7 on TrenchMapper from much later in the war, at least they show craters etc Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
