Tim Godden Posted 4 January , 2012 Share Posted 4 January , 2012 Hi Bill, Could you tell me what the map is that you are using please? It looks fascinating. Best wishes, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmac Posted 4 January , 2012 Share Posted 4 January , 2012 It is from the 'White Cross Touring Atlas of the Western Battlefields' by Alexander Gross, published in the early 20s I believe (by Geographia,the same people who still do the street maps of London, etc.). White Cross was an insurance company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
