keithfazzani Posted 16 June , 2018 Share Posted 16 June , 2018 I was given a copy of the above today. I assume that it was a map produced shortly after the British arrived on the Somme. The copy I have has been annotated in blue in various places and has the owners name inscribed in pencil on the from. Unfortunately it is very faded and I haven't yet been able to read it. Any information gratefully received. When it was produced and to whom it was issued would be a good starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteStarLine Posted 17 June , 2018 Share Posted 17 June , 2018 Keith, a nice item even if faded. McMaster has one on its site from 1916: Database id #032, map title "Montauban". Parts of Sheets 57d SE 57c SW 62d NE 62c NW 1916 Scale 20,000. With a bit of luck you can read the date at the bottom right corner. Their example says "TRENCHES CORRECTED TO 2 - 6- 16" Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
