    Is it a gridreference or a map what is mentioned in the margin?

    Page 229: I read it as Ref. Appendix 1, Map Number X 18 attached. I tagged this diary and have a reference to a map on page 235.

    Based on Marie's reference to a map on a page that would be at the right place to be an appendix, I think it is probably a map of square X.18 from a trench map. Unfortunately, this reference doesn't say which map that would be.

    The places that are mentioned in that entry (Guillemont, Delville Wood) are on map 57cSW but in section S.

    Map N° X.18 (page 235) looks like a artillery barrage map https://talk.operationwardiary.org/#/subjects/AWD0003ny7

    Yes, it does. And a nice one, too.
