Aurel Sercu Posted 29 October , 2006 Share Posted 29 October , 2006 Hi Nel, Sorry, not a Potijze area map of 1916, but an extract from a (probably ?) 1915 map. But I'm sure it will help. Trenches A 5 and A 6 can be found in subsquare 5 a (if ever you are in the area : this is just a few dozen meters east and southeast of the present French military cemetery St. Charles de Potyze (Zonnebeke Road) Warwick Farm can be found in subsquare 29 c Duke Street in subsquare 5 a, near position (trench) A 5 b Fenchurch Street in 29 c ; not easy to read, but it's just northwest of Warwick Farm. (Added later : Sorry this attachment won't be of much help, but I had to obey the Forum rules and keep my attachment smaller than 100 kB. (It's 95 kB) I wish I knew how other pals seem to manage to post photos and maps smaller than 100 kB and yet the result on the screen is a lot bigger than my poor reproduction below.... Anyway, if you want the unresized version of this map (and more than just this extract) send me a PM or email. I'll make up for the small size by posting a photo of Warwick Farm as it looks like now. Smaller than 100 kB though. Aurel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurel Sercu Posted 29 October , 2006 Share Posted 29 October , 2006 Isn't that bizarre ? The photo I have just posted in # 3, though only 52 kB (because that is my original) looks much larger on the screen than the map extract in my posting # 2. The one I will post below, is 97 kB. I wonder how large it will appear ! (One day someone with a mind superior to mine (technically ) will have to explain this mystery to me.

Aurel Sercu Posted 29 October , 2006 Share Posted 29 October , 2006 My 97 kB photo looks smaller than my 52 kB photo !!! I'll stop being puzzled by that. Today is Sunday. Day of Rest. Aurel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
