Discover how trench maps were made, their usefulness and how they helped achieve an all-arms victory in 1918.
Take a look at real maps, and how they tied in with aerial photographic reconnaissance in WW1. Learne how to interpret them on the ground, and use them in conjunction with other tools to visit and see the ground where your ancestor fought. This will also be useful in looking at WW2 battlefields and training grounds in Britain.
