However, to really understand the map (and to put your great uncle's death into some sort of wider perspective), you might want to purchase the battlefield guide book (which includes a copy of the map) for �15.99 + �2.50 postage:

There is an excellent book entitled "First Day On The Somme" by Martin Middlebrook, published in 1972 by W.W Nortan and Co. Whether it specifically mentions Hill 147 I don't know. However, it goes into great detail about the battle and contains numerous photographs and line-drawings of various engagements.
