WW1 Maps UK
« on: Friday 07 May 21 14:18 BST (UK) »
Hi

I am looking for WW1 camp maps used in Heaton Park, Manchester as I am going to do some research on the 1st & 2nd City Battalions Manchester Regiment "PALS" and Heaton Park was the place they trained and left for the front from, along with other Regiments.

There are loads of WW2 but I keep drawing a blank on WW1

Any help much appreciated

There are a few sites with some stunning info and photos but nothing with a plan of the park.

Here is a cracking read https://17thmanchesters.wordpress.com/enlistment/training-in-england/?preview=true&preview_id=11493&preview_nonce=c7b53cfdfc
