Maps

This section of the Long, Long Trail will be helpful for anyone wishing to research the places of interest to the British Army of WW1.

There are collections of two types of map on this site.

Campaign and battle maps

Discovered in books and odd places, these maps show the battle lines and movements of forces during the war.

The maps in this section are ones I have found tucked away in unit war diaries or other places.

Click on sketch and trench maps

I find www.viamichelin.co.uk indispensible for modern-day online road maps of France and Flanders

and Google Earth is excellent for modern day satellite images as is Geoportail for France
