Philips' Large-Scale Strategical War Map of Europe : Western Area
Fifth Edition. (G. Philip. 2s. 6d. net.)—On one large sheet this admirable map, which is clearly printed in colours, shows the Western battle-area from Antwerp to the Swiss border, on a scale of ten miles to an inch. An inset on a scale of five miles to an inch shows the area of the British operations, and is mom accurate in the region of the " great push " than the large map, which does not mark Thiepval and calls Ovillers " Avelluy." The index given with the map does not name Pozieres or Martinpuich, but will be useful for finding larger places. Such a map as this is a useful corrective to the detailed maps of the immediate scene of operations which appear in the newspapers ; it helps one to realize at a glance the extent of the task that General Joffre and General Haig have to perform in clearing France and Belgium of the invader. The map can be had mounted on cloth as well as on paper.
