Map

Someone has just given me this map of the Battle of Loos, September 1915. It seems to cover many of the places mentioned in the diary. Unfortunately, I do not have a link to the site it comes from:

    I wonder if Les Briques appears anywhere in that vicinity?

    I think it must be something else entirely. Or somewhere so small that it never appeared on a map, so he never saw it written down.

    Did you notice, by the way, that there are a couple of 'Corons' on it, spelt quite differently to how I'd imagined.

    Is this an error or an attempt at humour?

    'That chimes true in Britain, where Prime Minister David Cameron's coalition government has unveiled deep cuts designed to reign in the kingdom's record high deficit.'

    It is from an article on the SMH Online talking about the Royal Weddings in 2011.

    I will look at the map more closely when I get home next week and have my mega-monitor rather than this netbook.

    I think it's spellchecker and an editor on auto-pilot.

    I wonder if "Les Briques" refers to the Brick Stacks? These were apparently piles of unused bricks that were stacked before the start of the war and provided a reasonable amount of cover. I'm not sure exactly where they were - maybe there were many - but there were certainly some around the Cuinchy and Cambrin area.
