'Arras. Sheet 51B N.W.3. Edition 2 B'
Arras with the war on its doorstep. The whole city is here at 1:10,000, its citadel, railway, boulevards and the River Scarpe, and just beyond the last houses the blue British front line faces a dense red web of German trenches through Saint-Laurent-Blangy, Athies and Tilloy-lès-Mofflaines. Corrected to 8 April 1916, it records the sector a year before the Battle of Arras opened on 9 April 1917, when British and Commonwealth troops emerged from tunnels beneath the city to attack across this ground. The combination of a complete town plan with battlefield detail makes it one of the most readable of the Arras sheets, keeping individual streets, houses and field boundaries. Edition 2B, Ordnance Survey.
