EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative trench map from the Western Front during World War I depicts the NW France area around Peronne, with a specific focus on the village of Bouchavesnes, as outlined in sheet 62c NW. Dated November 20, 1916, this map was a crucial tool for British troops as they navigated the complex terrain and communicated with local French inhabitants. The back of the map features an essential glossary, designed to help soldiers decipher French signs and instructions they would encounter in their daily operations. The glossary includes essential military and everyday terms, such as "Auberchicourt" (a nearby town), "Boche" (a derogatory term for German soldiers), "Sap" (a trench dug close to the enemy lines), and "Stretcher Bearer" (a medical aid worker). The inclusion of this glossary was a testament to the importance of effective communication during wartime, as troops relied on each other and local civilians to coordinate movements, gather intelligence, and ensure the safety and well-being of their comrades. This map and its accompanying glossary serve as a poignant reminder of the intricacies and challenges of military life during the 1910s and the First World War.
