I am reading a war diary, kindly given by Wills and it mentions MR then numbers - I presume these are co-ordinates. The diary is of the landings at Juno beach. Does anyone know what these mean, and if they do, the location of the them. Codes - MR 7F 989855 MR 7F 998995 MR 992848 MR 994854 Thanks Ben
MR = Map Reference . Lots of us use this to translate them to co-ords you can put into Google Earth & find the location. http://www.echodelta.net/mbs/eng-translator.php use this grid for JUNO. to find which prefix to put in front of map ref. http://www.echodelta.net/mbs/grillesj/frenchlambert1.htm in this case it is vT vT989855 = 49° 20' 11'' N 0° 25' 50'' W on google maps https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Route+de+Courseulles,+14990+Berni%C3%A8res-sur-Mer,+France/@49.3342777,-0.4266664,15z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x480a5f301f08857b:0x9e123ab6ef0634a4
