Simon Birch Posted 27 September , 2022 Share Posted 27 September , 2022 Morning, Does anyone have access to the above, on one sheet..? Am looking for a map that covers the French and British attacks of 14th Dec. 1914: from the Petit Bois wood to the west side of Wytschaete the British plan called for an advance to Warneton. This turned out to be optimistic to say the least. I can get copies of Wytschaete to Warneton but they are on separate maps but I need them on one ideally. Could be 1/20,000 or 1/40,000. Any pointers or help would be gratefully received..! Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

National Library of Scotland has a few later maps. This one from Dec 1916 has both places on: https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=14.0&lat=50.76773&lon=2.88957&layers=101464936&b=1 You could also try Mc Master University maps: http://lt1.mcmaster.ca/ww1/wrz4mp.php?grid=28 http://digitalarchive.mcmaster.ca/islandora/object/macrepo%3A70114/-/collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is one map but on two pages on Ancestry (Piece 1440 p 267 & 268). Page 268 shows Petit Bois and Warneton. Not a very good map though.

Simon Birch Posted 24 October , 2022 Author Share Posted 24 October , 2022 Brian, Many thanks for this; the early maps are never of the better variety - so I will take what I (and kind others here) can find. Thanks Again, Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
