Diary Entry

1 August 1943 Alderney artillery position map

Alderney, 1:10,000. Second edition (August 1941). Lambert I grid, northern zone. For official use only. [The artillery-overlay date, 1 August 1943, follows the order given in the volume contents; no legible overlay date is visible on this scan.]

Legend: black = divisional artillery; red = Army coastal artillery; brown = territorial infantry guns; blue = naval artillery. M.A.A. 605 = Naval Artillery Battalion 605. The unit symbols and gun positions are retained on the original map.

The grid is to be used only with the second edition of the coordinate gazetteer, August 1941. Survey and Mapping Battalion (motorised) 631. Magnetic declination, January 1941; annual decrease [minute figures too small to read reliably]. Place names are retained as printed on the map.

Map reproduced from the supplied Roll 1559 translation, scan 0525.
