Allan1892 Posted 5 May Share Posted 5 May I am looking at a 2nd Lt that was one of several to win a MC during a trench raid on the 20th February 1917. Reading the war diaries I was hoping to see exactly where the raid took place, The diaries state 'Bluff Sector' the 20th February (the day before, they were at Canal Reserve Camp), the entry also mentions 'Hill 60' -- can anyone point me to the relevant trench map please?

Howard Posted 5 May Share Posted 5 May Of course. Just use Advanced Search with Hill 60 in TrenchMapper and you will get over 400 maps all georeferenced. Change maps in the left panel. Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
