SCS volunteers catalogue campaign maps

Last week a team of volunteers from the Salonika Campaign Society began a project at The National Archives to catalogue sets of Salonika Campaign maps to allow individual sheets to be identified by researchers using TNA’s online database. More detailed information on the maps will be released on the SCS website as the project progresses.

During the first session some fascinating material came to light including hand sketched panoramas of sectors of the Birdcage Line, artillery barrage maps and water supply maps for the Struma Valley.

Many thanks to Dr Will Butler, Head of Military Records at TNA, for organising a work space and access to the maps for this first scoping session.
