Remembered Today:

Spree Farm

Recommended Posts

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.

Mark

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.

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.

 

Best wishes

 

George

This shows trenches correct to 30th June 1917, close to your dates.
