Description

An American map titled "The Battle Ground of Liberty." The map of the western battle front shows the farthest advance of the German army on September 6, 1914 and the British and French battle line as of October 1917. Annotations, in blue ink, highlight Sedan, the area south of Verdun, Saint Mihiel, Bar-le-Duc, Commercy, Toul, and Nancy. A thin inked line follows the Meuse River from Sedan to Saint Mihiel. A smaller inset map shows the "Italian-Austro-Hungarian Battle Front" with battle lines as of October 1917. An index on the back identifies cities, towns, rivers, forts, lakes, seas, mountains, forests, passes, and provinces in Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, and Austria-Hungary.
