Smithmaps Posted 9 April , 2008 Share Posted 9 April , 2008 The first location of E Battery is at French Farm, just south of Zillebeke Lake. Here is a LinesMan screen shot. Cheers Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithmaps Posted 11 April , 2008 Share Posted 11 April , 2008 Doc I just realised that all the battery positions are together. I have now marked them all in LinesMan for you. Note that the Modern Maps used are not yet available. Cheers Guy And in Aeral Photo: Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
