Item description from seller

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The notes also cover in a tabulated list habitations with details, e.g. Longueval consisted of 130 houses with 406 inhabitants, eight wells, 17 ponds and a sugar factory.The 1:100,000 scale map shows the whole of the Somme Front from Arras south to St. Quentin and east to Cambrai, with both British and German front lines at the commencement of the offensive, with various German headquarters, railheads, depots etc. All-in-all, a valuable addition to any 'Somme' library, and a most useful reference for the battlefield tourist or historian.The last act of the Somme offensive took place in the Ancre sector from 13 to 19 November.

(Written by Haig in June 1916 before the Battle of the Somme began).…
