Trench map help

Hi all.

Could anyone help me with a couple of extracts from the above trench maps for around April/May 1918? Not sure whether the following co-ordinates are on 51B SW or 51C SE, as the war diary isn't clear.

Square M32, R34 and R35.

Cheers

Dave

I have 51bNW and I thought from what others had taught me I might be able to assist. Appears not, but I hope you don't mind if I tag along with you and follow the answer.

The others have posted some good examples of how to read the maps and there is a good summary on Chris's web site but I have yet to find the BIG letters they refer to - and I have an original map.

I still need to attend map school!
