Separately issued folding map of the Western Front in the Great War or World War I. The geographical areas covered are mainly in Belgium, Luxembourg and northern France.

This is a near contemporaneous record of the strategic positions in World War I. As well as showing the movement of the trenches, it also marks the site and date of the great battles of the conflict and the advances and retreats of the armies throughout the war. Not all of the battles are mentioned as they are often perceived as parts of an advance or retreat. For example the Battle of Passchendaele here is called the “Battle of the Ridge” and is shown as part of the larger Battle of Ypres.

A key is present on the upper right of the map.

The Reverse is illustrated with contemporaneous photographs of the War. Image available upon request. Original colour. [EUR1559]
