• SKU: GHS_OVILLERS_16

• Ovilliers (57D SE 4 - ed. 2B) in a series of British Army trench maps from the WWI, reproduced by G.H. Smith & Son at approximately 7/10th of the original scales quoted against each title. The map shows the trenches corrected to 11.6.1916 and as they were on the first day of the Battle of the Somme in an area from Authuille Wood, Ovillers and La Boisselle to Becourt.

  Maps in this series show both the British and the enemy trenches. Several titles also indicate supply and ammunition dumps, machine gun and trench mortar emplacements, observation posts, etc. Most titles are annotated with a specific date when they were prepared and include on the reverse a glossary of terms used on the map. Some also include additional information on the regiments and/or individual solders connected with that particular part of the front.
