About this book
The White Cross Touring Atlas Of The Western Battlefields
Author: The White Cross Insurance Association Ltd.
Year: 1920
Produced for the White Cross Insurance Association Ltd. by Geographia Ltd, both of London UK. This book contains 64 full coloured maps and war graves index of over 1,700 cemeteries on the Western Front. The date has always been a question, but is now believed to be circa 1920. A complex process of clearing the battlefields and concentration of smaller cemeteries into larger cemeteries continued long after the Great War of 1914-1918 was over. Many of the cemeteries mapped in this book no longer exist. Some of the newer cemeteries may not be listed. Researchers will need to determine which cemetery is shown "the old or the new", such as in the case of the Irish Farm Cemetery near Ypres, Belgium. The digitized index has now been added (31 March 2020). It is available as four (4) separate PDF files (Original, Alphabetic, Numeric, Page Number) or as an EXCEL Worksheet with four (4) tabs. All versions are searchable. You need to download the EXCEL spreadsheet to have full access to the individual tabs.
