SKU
'Lowlands of Northern France and Belgium (With Battle Lines)'
The Flanders battlefield in close-up: Ypres, Passchendaele, Messines, Armentières, Arras and Vimy, with the Channel ports of Dunkirk, Calais and Boulogne that Germany's 1918 offensives were meant to take. Hammond's "Map A" covers the low country from Kent and the Strait of Dover to Lille, Douai and the Belgian coast, tinted by height and marked with forts, fortresses, railways and canals. Red lines trace the farthest German advance of 1914, the Allied line of March 1918, the German advance of spring 1918 and the Armistice Line of 11 November. The caption says it plainly: this is "where Germany's southwestern thrust chiefly endangered Great Britain". Printed across two pages, conjoined.
