CROONAERT Posted 1 August , 2005 Share Posted 1 August , 2005 Not directly relating to the attack, but here's a trenchmap extract (28NE ed.9A) for Polderhoek Chateau from Dec.1917. (German "trenches" (mainly organised shell-holes and fortified emplacements rather than trenches as such!) corrected to 5/12/17, British front-line correct to 29/11/17)... Dave.

AGWR Posted 1 August , 2005 Author Share Posted 1 August , 2005 Dave, Thanks for posting this map. It's much closer to the date of the actual attack than the one that I already had. That's quite a few pints I owe you now! Regards, AGWR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
