Chris Boonzaier Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Thanks to a fantastic surprise from Don I have managed to more or less double my Verdun "snaps from above"... Over the next few weeks I am going to try and match them with my trench maps.... Here is a relatively untouched Fleury in March 1916 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
