Pheasant Trench

[Theothers]

Hi All, I am going to Ypres on Fryday and want to find were my Grandfather fought in the Great War. One of the locations, which I can't find is "Pheasant Trench" I believe its near Poelcappelle next to Eagle Trench. I have found this on a Map but is "Peasant" north or south of Eagle and i think its near "Peasant farm" but I can't find a thing. does anyone have any info or better still a map.

Thanks for your help.

Thank you, 14 years later I wanted to locate Pheasant Trench as Capt Cecil Thomas Coyne was killed in the attempt to capture it by the 9th Bn West Yorkshire Regiment on 27th August 1917.

Have a look at TrenchMapper. If you right click and choose Map ID Jump with ID=m_026898, it will centre on Pheasant Trench on a map dated 6th Auguist 1917, just 3 weeks before Cecil died. There are numerous other maps, you may find one with a closer date but sadly, not every map bears a date.
