saw119 Posted 3 February , 2011 Share Posted 3 February , 2011 Never occured to me before but are there any maps of Armentieres/Houplines area. My Great Grandfather's battalion war diary is always saying things like 'reprted to billets in Armentieres' or 'regiment bathed today at Houplines'. It occured to me I have very little idea of what the terrain around the area is like. Does anyone have any maps of the area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi If you PM me your email address I can scan & send you part of a 2nd Army Panorama dated 28/8/15 which shows a view of the terrain from the Factory Chimney at Houplines showing the British defences and dugouts from the rear, so to speak.
