MILITARY OPERATIONS OTHER THEATRES: 1914-1918 Maps on CD Rom

THIS ITEM IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS VISTA The Official Historians had the benefit of various record collections of maps available to them at the start of their work in 1920. Sorting and arranging material started much earlier. Although, following the Armistice, many records were pulped or burned in France because of the impossibility of shipping them all back and the need to reduce their immense volume to a manageable quantity, many papers and most war diaries of headquarters, formations and units, and the annotated maps thereto appended, were untouched by this holocaust. Many 1914-18 records were, however, later destroyed by enemy bombing in 1940. In the 1930s the Great War historical and other records (including war diaries) of the British Army comprised 1,900 tons and occupied 15 miles of shelving! The Official Historians also used information supplied after 1918 by their former allies and enemies. The last volumes of the Official History were not published until after the Second World War. Drawn for the official series ‘History of the Great War, Military Operations, Other Theatres,’ the outline dispositions and situation maps and colour-layered topographical maps represent in a reduced and simplified form the vast production of British military cartography (over 32 million trench, tactical, strategic and topographical maps) during the years 1914-18. Providing a powerful and revealing picture of the stages of operations, they were designed to be used with the text and appendix volumes. Recent reprints of the Official Histories have included the sketches bound into the text volumes, but have excluded the maps in pockets and in map-cases; Naval & Military Press have therefore decided to concentrate, in this CD Rom, on presenting these maps, which have never been reprinted since the original publication of the Official Histories. Price plus VAT where applicable.
