Description

A map numbered 17 in a series and titled "Amiens." The map is annotated, in red pencil and black ink, to show the positions, headquarters, and movement of the 5th Division of the Australian Imperial Force during the German Spring Offensive. There is a drawn line indicating troop movement from Montonvillers through Poulainville, Bussy-les-Daours, Daours, la Neuville, and Corbie to Sailly-le-Sec. A second line from Domart sur la Luce through Villers-Bretonneux, Hamel, Sailly-Laurette, and Morlancourt indicates either troop movement or the front line. The 5th Australian Division headquarters is located at Bussy-les-Daours and the 8th Brigade of the 5th Division is near la Neuville. Cappy is also highlighted. Handwriting on the back reads: "5th Division Rf Wing" and "Amiens." Two stamps on the back read: "5th Australian Division, Reinforcement Wing, 20 AVR 1918." Donated by Ralph E. Truman.
