VERY RARE Original WWI Oct. 8, 1917 Linen Military Battlefield Map, "Lens (France) Town Plan, Showing Cellars & Sewers, Military Features, etc."

Owned & Used by Named Canadian Officer

DESCRIPTION: Scans show it all....extremely rare ORIGINAL HEAVY LINEN WWI MAP, as described, DATED OCT. 8, 1917.  Indicates that Lens was the 1st. Army H.Q.   

Has great detail about the town.   Sorry for a couple of the blurring photos.....all is clear as a bell in reality.

THIS MAP WAS USED!!!   IF YOU WANT SOMETHING THAT WAS "THERE" AND USED DAY TO DAY DURING WWI, THIS IS IT!!!   It is a linen map, made to withstand use and folding/unfolding and other use during field conditions and with constant use, so in great shape.

Best part is that I have  the name of the Canadian Artillery officer who owned and used this and brought it home along with a couple of other maps, photos, barrage tables, a german cartridge box, and other souvenirs. Also hand written  story about how he was the last to see his commander alive at Passchendaele, prior to his death (shown, and I will send a copy to the winner).  Owner was an artillery lieutenant, and his name and outfit will be provided to the lucky buyer. I currently have his last 3 remaining maps listed on ebay.

This WAS USED.  A VERY RARE ITEM TO FIND ANYWHERE, ANY TIME.  A RARE used AND identified WWI battlefield map.  Very large, and will look great with any collection or display or on any wall. 

Has great eye appeal to decorate any period wall or collection display, AND ESPECIALLY SUPER CONTENT & RARITY.
