mac Posted 15 July , 2005 Share Posted 15 July , 2005 I am in the middle of putting together material for a two volume photographic book for the RGBW Museum at Salisbury. I am going through the process of identifying possible images, and one has presented me with a bit of a problem. The photo in question shows 'Officers of C Company, 1st Wilts Regt' in Ridor Wood, Bicksbush (I think it should be Dickebush). I know the name of one of the officers but I am rather stumped as to the whereabouts of Ridor Wood. I have examined the War Diary and can find no refrence to it.....Can any Forum Member point me in the right location to idenfying the location of 'The Wood' Cheers MAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunners dream Posted 15 July , 2005 Share Posted 15 July , 2005 Looking at trench maps are sure the spelling is correct? The reason I ask is that there is a 'Ridge Wood' to the east of Dickebusch lake. This is also below Wiltshire Farm if that has any relevance to your research?

Jacky Platteeuw Posted 15 July , 2005 Share Posted 15 July , 2005 I would agree with Steve about 'Ridge Wood'. There is a Cemetery of this name 'Ridge Wood Military' Jacky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac Posted 15 July , 2005 Author Share Posted 15 July , 2005 Steve & Jackie Many thanks for your fast and helpful responses. I attach a copy of whats written on the back of the photo, but I have a feeling you are both correct in as much as its Ridge Wood, but badly written. Interesting link to Wiltshire nearby, I will have to dig further. Thanks once again Cheers MAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
