Hi,
I'm trying to work out if the Maple Redoubt defensive position south of Bois Francaise, Fricourt, lies under the present Point 110 Old British Cemetery?

I have a copy trench map roughly showing the Redoubt's location and can more or less match the area up with Google Earth, but just want to be certain.
