For anyone wanting to look up map references in War diaries, you can use this tool here:

https://www.echodelta.net/mbs/eng-translator.php#

Start with the global location mentioned in the war diaries, for example "Nijmegen". Check a map to see the location of Nijmegen, and find the corresponding letter code here....in this case "qE"

than take the mentioned Map Reference (MR) 712642 from the War diary and combine it with the 2 letters "qE712642" and use the translator, select "Nord de Guerre Grid" in the first box (corresponds with the grid above) and type the number in the second box to find the location.
