charlie2 Posted 16 December , 2021 Share Posted 16 December , 2021 Try the French OH it may contain the maps you are looking for https://gallica.bnf.fr/html/und/histoire/les-armees-francaises-dans-la-grande-guerre?mode=desktop Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDT006 Posted 17 December , 2021 Share Posted 17 December , 2021 A good location is here: https://archives.marne.fr/ark:/86869/jxrmf7tw456h Luc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie2 Posted 17 December , 2021 Share Posted 17 December , 2021 Is Bouilancourt a mis-spelling of Boulancourt ? Cense lies ESE of Fismes - see attached. The full map from Vol 14 of the German OH can be seen here https://digi.landesbibliothek.at/viewer/image/AC03617635/37/LOG_0037/ Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie2 Posted 18 December , 2021 Share Posted 18 December , 2021 As far as I can tell there is or was no village of Bouilancourt in the area and Boulancourt is quite a bit away. I suggest that Bouvancourt, which is about 10Kms away from Cense, has at some point been wrongly transcribed. Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James A Pratt III Posted 29 December , 2021 Author Share Posted 29 December , 2021 Thanks the name is Bouillancourt in French this might be the German spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
