The red circle round the station (the British Front Line) in Le Touquet which is mentioned in the account of his wounding, and also where William's dugout was. Also on the map is the farm at Grand Rabeque which is frequently referred to in his diary - usually as GR and also the small village of Le Bizet where the Battalion headquarters were based.
