• SKU: GHS_WYTSCHAETE_5A_17
• Wytschaete (28 SW 2 - ed. 5A) 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. This very clear detailed map shows trenches corrected to 1.4.1917, the week before the battle of the Messines (Messen) Ridge. 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.
