You should try www.pathsofglory.co.uk its a site run by a Pal and has most of the maps availble from the western front. Word of warning though, 1915 was definitely the early stages of trench maps so you might not have much luck anywhere. I am sure persistance will find you what is out there though.

I recommend the book 'Hill 60' by Nigel Cave, you will find a lot of detail in the period you are looking for

It is part of the Battleground Europe Series and you will get it new for less than a tenner from Pen & Sword. I assume that they have a website or ring them on 01226 734555.
