Mark Abbott Posted 15 January , 2008 Share Posted 15 January , 2008 I am currently researching the actions of 419 Field Company RE on the 31st July 1917. Spree Farm (which is located on the Wieltje-Gravenstaffel road) is one of the farms mentioned in the War Diary. Does anyone have a contemporary photo of this German strongpoint? Ken Lees has very kindly provided me a detailed trench map of the area and I would like to have photos of the various strongpoints. Regards.

Scott Goring Posted 12 November , 2014 Share Posted 12 November , 2014 Hi Mark, I found this while looking for information myself. I'm not sure where the third image was sourced from or the accuracy of location. It's also sadly quite a small file. Regards, Scott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Hi, I'm researching the 1/5 Lancs on 31 Jul and 1 Aug 1917. Any links to trench maps showing CAPRICORN, CANVAS and CAPITAL Trenches, SPREE and POND FARMs, FORT HILL plus the STEENBEEK stream/river in the Ypres salient appreciated.
