RedCoat Posted 29 July , 2021 Share Posted 29 July , 2021 Hello all, I am looking for a reasonably high res trench map that covers Monchy Le Preux and the surrounding area in 1918 - preferably August 1918. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. Kind regards Redcoat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, I just looked through the 8 CIB War Diary and found a map from the 26/08/1918 in the appendices. Would this be about right?
