A and B Battalions 31 July 1917- Map

The author believes the above map is wrong -

For B48 read B42.

B48 and B45 were probably both ditched somewhere in the Hooge Gap (i.e. in between A45 and A53).

Position of German gun turret (J13d.8.9) from S38.p176

Position of tanks in centre of map from Aerial photograph IWM BOX 159-818-1917 (see link below) - identity of tanks may differ from that given above.

A36, A38 and A41 approximate positions only.

Position of other "A" Battalion tanks from map in PRO WO 95 - 109

"B" Battalion positions from sources in PRO WO 95-109, some accurate others educated guesswork, see narratives for details.
