Thank you MaxD and jim1,

Oh gosh it does sound straightforward until you see the map and imagine the scene, it must have been a terrifying nightmare. 
Thank you for letting me see the battlefield map, it’s so interesting.

The aerial photo is of the area centred on Gloster Farm (which was probably no more than a small heap of rubble), covering the lower left quadrant of square V 20.   It covers most of the ground over which 6 Y&L were fighting.

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,
Zoe

Just out of interest the ANZAC's were the other side of the black line
Square 4 (Belle Vue Spur) can just be seen at the bottom right corner of the battlefield map.

At risk of overloading the information, Gloster Farm (almost certainly re-named) has risen again, see the link:
