Haig and his Maps

Speaker: Dr John Peaty
Haig With Maps (1)

Contrary to popular myth, Haig realised the crucial importance of terrain on the Western Front and had special relief model-like maps made to aid operational planning. These maps, their use by Haig, their survival and their recent conservation are little known and are the subject of this talk.
