    Important Information
    1st
    Battalion, This map represents a best effort at localizing events that are now over a century old. Some features are derived
    Gloucestershire
    from textual descriptions and first hand accounts, others from reprojected original trench maps of the area. Given
    VIMY RIDGE surveying methods of the era and accounting for projection and tracing errors, features on the map should be
    expected to be within 20 yards of their indicated positions. curie
