Any assistance would be gratefully received Busman <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You might like to try the experimental page on the WFA website:-Place or trench finder In October, Peter Chasseaud's book should be out, "Rats' Alley: British Trench Names of the Western Front,1914-1918". Amazon will have it. I hope that helps. Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
