Trench Map for R.25.d

[Guest tvc1]

Please, is anyone able to tell me where I can find a map which will show the position of R.25.d. near Thiepval. This is the reported burial site of a soldier of 52nd Btn AIF who was posted missing on 3rd September 1916 in one of the last attacks on Mouquet Farm by the AIF.

The full quote from his records is dated 23/10/16 "Buried in the vicinity of Thiepval R.25.d. by 3rd Cavalry Division, dismounted party, (No date given).

His grave was later lost, and he is remembered at Villers-Bretonneux.

Many thanks in advance if you are able to point me in the right direction.

Regards

If you CLICK HERE, you'll be able to find a 1916 trenchmap extract showing the reference you give.

Here is an elarged version of the requested square ("d" is the highlighted segment of square "R.25"). The reference you give only gives a general area view. Are there any more (numbers) following this reference?

A great many thanks for this and for replying so promptly. No, there weren't any other numbers.

I am going over tomorrow (fine piece of planning of course) taking this soldier's niece (age 76) from Australia. It will probably be her first and only trip and I just thought I might see if I could find where this place might be.

Best Wishes

Carol
