Map reference


Mat McLachlan

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Just looking for a trench map that includes this point:

(1:40,000) 62D.P8.D80.90

It's on the Hamel battlefield, close to Pear Trench.

All help much appreciated.

Cheers,

Mat

I 'll try to help with that Matt, but just for interest, my Great Uncle Rupert Walton - a lewis gunner - was killed on the morning of July 4th 1918 attacking Pear Trench. 44th Battalion AIF. I have a book on their history. I'll check it for Hamel trench maps.

This is the same area showing "Information obtained from enemy map captured near Hamel on July 4th. showing enemy disposition prior to attack."
