Tony B Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Not with trench map, but if you going visiting, get a copy of 'The Battlefeilds of the First World War' by Peter Barton. Will cost about £40 or from libary. Has a lot of panoramic photos from the period plus two on CD disc. Very useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 There are tench maps available on DVD. They are expensive though. One problem with trench maps are they are not standad. Trench lines and names changed all the time, and of course nintey + years have passed. The best bet is get decent modern maps and work from them. http://www.themapcentre.com/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_IGN_Mapping_42.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
