jhill Posted 4 August , 2004 Share Posted 4 August , 2004 This attachment shows the War Diary entry for April 14. As is so often the case it does not give too much information. You may want to browse the associated diaries for the 1st Cheshires, 15th Brigade, and 5th Division, which, for this period, are available here: http://www.collectionscanada.ca/02/02015202_e.html Search on 5th Division - miscellaneous. They give, for example, the exact trenches and map locations occupied. Unfortunately, the entries are not well indexed, so you may have to hunt around in the April, 1917 section. Hope this helps.
