Just to clarify I am not talking about regular grid references based upon Latitude and Longitude, but an alternative based upon an alpha-numeric coding on the maps. e.g.the map attached to my original post is the 3 Aust Div, 9th Bde area of control in July 1918, during preparations for the Allied attack which became the Battle of Amiens.
The map clearly shows large squares designated with a letter and then a series of smaller squares numbered 1 through 36. In the unit diary, the grid references are further reduced to a secondary alpha numeric code. You will see a trench in grid square J 35, If I am correct this is described as J.35.B.18.82 in the diary.
Anyone know if maps still exist for the entire front?
