chrisreeve Posted 9 February , 2006 Share Posted 9 February , 2006 Thank you John for solving the Crab Crawl puzzle. Do you know of a trench map that would contain this information, if so, where would we be able to purchase one ? Where would we find more information regarding Tor Top? Is it now the site of a Canadian Memorial, as stated on a WW1 web site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisreeve Posted 11 February , 2006 Share Posted 11 February , 2006 John once again you are comming up with the goods thank you. I have started another thread on the OTHERS site trying to get further information on history of Tor Top, its exact location ect, there seems to be some confusion of its exact location, and what is actually still there today. Anything else you can come up with would be appreciated john. Thanks again Chris and Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother Ben and I are touring the cemeteries of Flanders this week and hope to visit our great great uncle Sim Reeve later today. Best regards. Carl Reavey.
