Does anyone have a WW2 Map of this area that they could scan for me please 169 Bde landing area 9 /9/43 Salerno Green Beach
Bill, I have a map which corresponds to the area you want, but I will need to get it scanned - my scanner is A4 and the map is A2 I believe. Mark
I have just located this: http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/ams/italy_50k/txu-pclmaps-oclc-6540719-pontecagnano-197-1.jpg, it is basically (second edition rather than third) the same map I have, however without the notations. If you still would like a copy of the map I have I will organise by the end of the week. There is a series of WW2 era maps here: Italy AMS Topographic Maps - Perry-Castañeda Map Collection - UT Library Online, which cover Italy. Mark
Not sure if this will be any help. It's from the Appendix of the 4th Beach Group War Diary (WO 169/13673) i uploaded to my Gallery albums a while back.
Thank you guys - what a great website this. Your leads have found me maps with military grids on which will help me when I get the September 1943 War Diary of the 2/5 Queens. I hope to find where Sgt tom White's bren carrier overturned on the 9/9/43 and he was captured. Mark - thank you for thinking about scanning A2 size perhaps hold fire until I know more about the location then scan A4 Thank you both for your help, Greatly appreciated
I had reprints of some of the Salerno maps for sale - may still have some left - Can look if you are interested.
Bill, This is the collection of maps I have, and they were from Packhow75, and were really worth the expenditure. If you want a physical copy, these are a great option. Mark
