WWI Trench Map: Beaumont (57D SE parts of 1 & 2 – ed. 2)
Beaumont (57D SE parts of 1 & 2 – ed. 2) 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. The map covers the front line around Beaumont Hamel, Thiepval Wood, Mensil and Englebelmer with trenches corrected to 6.2.1916. It was used by General Nugent and the 36th (Ulster) Division in their attack on the first day of the Battle of the Somme to the north-east of Thiepval.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.To see other titles in this series please click on the series link.
