Sketch map with directions of proposed location of the body of Henry Stanley Davis, [date unknown] Accession Number: RCDIG0001161

Description

Sketch map relating to the First World War service of Captain Henry Stanley Davis, 46th Battalion. This sketch map, a copy of an original, was used by the Graves Commission in an unsuccessful attempt to locate Davis’ grave near Bullecourt. It contains written directions and also depicts the movements of the 46th Battalion companies during the first battle of Bullecourt on 11 April 1917. The Australians were forced to retreat during the battle and the Germans retook the ground upon which Davis was killed, likely burying him soon after. Later attempts to locate Davis’ grave were unsuccessful and this copy was sent to his father.
