TRENCH MAP:
France Sheet 51bSE 1:20,000 Ed. 5B.
Shows part of the Drocourt-Queant Switch around Eterpigny, Marquion &c., trenches corrected to 20/8/1918, printed with Enemy Organisation (railways, dumps, aerodromes, hutments &c.) to the same date. This example with extensive contemp. operation markings, notably boundaries, HQs, MG positions &c. around the village of Olay-le-Verger, with ownership inscrip. of Sgt. J.S. [Indistinct, possibly McGarie], No. 46 Garrison Company, 43rd Garrison Batt. Royal Fusiliers, A.P.O.S. 32, B.E.F., France. Note: this battalion was formed after the Spring Offensive & consisted of unfit men from other units. It therefore seems most likely that the owner had previously been in actiuon with another battalion in this region.
