Rare WWI 1916 British France Ypres Ordinance Artillery Marker Trench Map Relic:
$230.00
*1916 dated British Ordinance Map of the France Ypres area gridded for British artillery firing coordinates*
This map is in very good condition and was used by the British against the Germans to mark objective points and guide artillery firing positions. The square grids on the map mark as a value of 1,000 yards with sub squares measuring at 500 yards in an A,B,C,D clockwise order. These squares with coordinate directions are explained in the bottom left of the map and would have been used extensively to fire on enemy positions.
These maps are printed on cloth and many did not survive the length of the war due to the wet and muddy conditions of the trenches. This map is in very good condition with common signs of use and wear.
Battle of Ypres:
The First Battle of Ypres (French: Première Bataille des Flandres German: Erste Flandernschlacht, 19 October – 22 November 1914) was a battle of the First World War, fought on the Western Front around Ypres, in West Flanders, Belgium. The battle was part of the First Battle of Flanders, in which German, French, Belgian armies and the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) fought from Arras in France to Nieuport on the Belgian coast, from 10 October to mid-November. The battles at Ypres began at the end of the Race to the Sea, reciprocal attempts by the German and Franco-British armies to advance past the northern flank of their opponents. North of Ypres, the fighting continued in the Battle of the Yser (16–31 October), between the German 4th Army, the Belgian army and French marines.
