Wedgehead30 Posted October 14, 2013 Share #1 Posted October 14, 2013 So one of the local estate liquidators called to tell me she had some "old army stuff" for me. Suffice to say I couldn't get my wallet out fast enough. I got a lot of research ahead of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitter2k1 Posted October 14, 2013 Share #3 Posted October 14, 2013 It looks like one heck of a pick up. I love seeing the WWI stuff and the maps have me intrigued. What area are they of by chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What area are they of by chance? This is the one that has me most intrigued. All of the notes and figures are hand written. I'm working on figuring it out.

Mitter2k1 Posted October 15, 2013 Share #9 Posted October 15, 2013 I'm curious about what the "Secret" is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zotig111 Posted October 15, 2013 Share #11 Posted October 15, 2013 I'm curious about what the "Secret" is. It is most likely the original wartime classification for the map once it was "marked up" with the plan of attack or unit positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etienne Posted October 15, 2013 Share #12 Posted October 15, 2013 Buzancy is a region in France where a large engagement took place during the 3rd Battle of the Aisne....possibly depicting troop movements and activity? Philip The village of Buzancy on the map in not the one in Aisne, but another in the french Ardennes ... 80 km east from the Aisne's Buzancy. The US 1st Army took part of the Chesne and Buzancy battle, from the 1st to 5th of november 1918, just before the Armistice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
