Colin W Taylor Posted 10 October , 2021 Share Posted 10 October , 2021 Augustin, A 1918 map from the Linesman collection shows a coupe of small hutted camps. The only one between Steenvoorde and Eecke (not in either village) is near Floral Farm; however, this does not look like a site that could house a battalion. There may be other earlier or later camps but none that jump out. Kind regard Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arne Vandendriessche Posted 14 October , 2021 Share Posted 14 October , 2021 Augustine, There were probably a lot of camps there but not every camp was marked on trench maps. If you had aerial photos of that area you would probably see a lot more camps, and other things. Arne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustin Posted 19 October , 2021 Author Share Posted 19 October , 2021 Indeed Arné, But it is more than rare to find photographs in this place, I would even say almost impossible to find. I am looking for maps in this place which would be very precious for my research. Augustin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
