Yorke Scarlett Posted 29 February Share Posted 29 February I'm reading through 53rd Brigade's action at Poelcappelle on 12 October 1917 and it mentions battalions passing through 'TUNNELLING CAMP' - can anyone give me a grid reference.

Can't help with the Grid Reference but this from the 8th Bn Norfolk's War Diary courtesy of Ancestry: It was a rest camp an hour's march from Poperinghe, the Norfolks did the return journey on the 20th Road Camp and Pioneer Camp are on the edge of Map 28NW3 given the naming protocol for the proliferation of Camps in the area my guess is somewhere around these 'RE association'named camps.

WhiteStarLine Posted 29 February Share Posted 29 February A search of the forum using its excellent search facility shows that this question has been asked a few times before. It looks like the group of hutments at the top left corner, where Edward has also placed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
