Description: WW1 (1916) 1:10,000 Scale British SOMME Trench Map entitled "BOUCHAVESNES" which shows the position of the frontline trenches as recorded just two days after the Battle of The Somme finished.

The map also features Moislains, Allaines, Rancourt and St Pierre Vaast Wood.Measures 94cm x 66cm.Bears a GSGS Map Room ink stamp (dated 20/12/1916) and is in very good condition as explained below... This map is one of many acquired from a private collection which was previously purchased in 2002 from The Imperial War Museum. Each item was held in the museum's duplicate archives and deemed surplus. Almost all have IWM stock numbers or stamps etc and many have been linen backed for long term conservation and storage purposes. Significant numbers were unused surplus stock when originally transferred to the museum and have never even been folded. As such, many of these original WW1 maps are in 'time capsule' condition, and there are numerous 'Secret' or 'Confidential' maps relating to major battles amongst them. I will be working my way through the collection in due course. POSTAGE - Will be sent rolled in a brand new cardboard postal tube. I will be using Royal Mail's Guaranteed Delivery by 1pm Service which will adequately cover the insurance cost of the item. This is fully tracked and requires a signature on receipt. Missed deliveries may result in the buyer having to rearrange a delivery date as per Royal Mail's instructions.International parcels will be fully tracked.

This depends on the overall value of the item (or items) contained within the package. UK sellers are now required to display these details in the form of a Customs Declaration attached to the outside of the package. Such matters are beyond my control as the process is administered by the Customs Department of the destination country.
