I am hoping one of our Burma/India research-obsessed gang (we're all peas in a pod -- alike in so many ways) has a hi-res copy of the wartime Survey of India map 83H. It includes the town of Imphal and the Tiddim Road southward. This 1 degree longitude by 1 degree latitude map contains the full area I am interested in, for a possible magazine article, regarding a subject I'll present here at a later date. Chris Johnson has a photocopy of 83H but can't send me the entire area I need on one image. The area I need, in one image, falls within the attached -- which comes from a US National Archives map of poor quality. I'm looking for a better-quality image for potential use in a publication. Fingers crossed... Cheers, Matt
Hi Matt I have some jpgs of parts of the map area above but none of them are on such a large scale. I'd be happy to look through them to see if there is one of the area you want and email it to you. Most are 5-6MB in size. Equally I could give you the file I found them in at Kew if you are near enough to visit. Can you send me a PM with the spot you are interested in (in confidence) and an email address if you want to explore this.
I have 83H N/E and 83H S/E at 1:126,720 (Half Inch). The area that you have shown seems to be split over the two maps that I have.
Matt, this is the one we could have done with earlier! Never mind, we still got there. Thanks High Wood. Lionboxer
LB, you are welcome. I took very quick scans using a small scanner. If there is a particular square or reference that you want enlarged please ask. If you need a whole map I can get them copied at the local print shop. Simon,
Simon, just out of interest, does the southern most map (the last one) go any further south? Lionboxer
Yes, indeed it does, you have seen only the top third. This is the bottom left corner. View attachment 218275
I forgot to get back to ww2talk to check for replies until now! Thanks so much, High Wood. These are wonderful and helpful. For submission to a magazine/journal such as After The Battle, I am hoping to get a good copy of just 83H -- all in one -- that can be used, potentially, in the printed piece. When I have more time, I'll look over your posted maps and see if there is anything else I might request. Skoyen89, thanks also to you. I will get back to you...after I clear some of this mound in front of me, almost blocking the computer screen. This is all in relation to what has been posted on the web -- a report which corrects and adds to two erroneous photo captions at the Imperial War Museum. Here's a link to this info: The story behind the IWM photos of Hurribombers south of Imphal – CF 175 and CF 176 I'll probably create a separate thread on this..."eventually". Cheers, Matt
