New Zealand sector.... trench map request

Hello everyone

My 1917 5.A edition of PLOEGSTEERT 28 S.W. 4. Trench map dosnt have any allied trenches on it!

Only a few German trenches marked in red on their side of the front, updated on the 18.07.1917

Do any pals have this sector of the New Zealand division that they could scan for me please.

I'm wanting to see the names and lay-outs of the New Zealand trenches.

Areas of interest: Western Front 1917

Au Chasseur Cabaret

La Basseville

Pont-Rouge

Many thanks from your colonial pal

Hi Wendy,

If no one has been able to help you, I will be able to get some images for you tomorrow evening. I'm off to France early in the morning, as long as the weather plays ball!

Cheers

Hi Wendy,

I have a copy of images that may help you, although the image with British Trench names is March 1918. I'll scan & send them to you.

Cheers

Thanks Tom :)

Fantastic stuff

I see Au Chasseur Cabaret just snucked in on the corner of image two.

Will spend some time and look at them more closely.

Thanks again, Wendy.

Thanks Tom

:w00t: Oh WOW....... they are fantastic, your attempt with an overlay is exceptionally good.

These give me a very good view of Au Chasseur Cabaret and La Bass Ville (La Basseville)

Many thanks for taking the time to scan and configure these, they will be brilliant for my research.
