    AI Overview

    This image displays a historic trench map of Belgium, specifically Sheet 28 NW, Edition 4B, created at a scale of 1:20000.
    This type of map was crucial during World War I, particularly in areas like Ypres, where trench warfare was prevalent.
    The map likely details features such as trenches, tracks, dugouts, and possibly cemeteries, providing vital information for military operations.
    Older versions of these maps, like the one shown, were often meticulously traced and updated to reflect changes in the battlefield.
    The red markings on the map indicate corrected trench lines or other updated information, reflecting the dynamic nature of the front lines.

    To My Chum

    No more we’ll share the same old barn
    The same old dug-out, same old yarn,
    No more a tin of bully share
    Nor split our rum by a star-shell’s glare
    So long old lad.

    What times we’ve had, both good and bad,
    We’ve shared what shelter could be had,
    The same crump-hole when the whizz-bangs shrieked,
    The same old billet that always leaked,
    And now – you’ve “stopped one”.

    We’d weathered the storms two winters long
    We’d managed to grin when all went wrong,
    Because together we fought and fed,
    Our hearts were light; but now – you’re dead
    And I am mateless.

    Well, old lad, here’s peace to you,
    And for me, well, there’s my job to do,
    For you and the others who are at rest
    Assured may be that we’ll do our best
    In vengeance.

    Just one more cross by a strafed roadside,
    With its G.R.C., and a name for guide,
    But it’s only myself who has lost a friend,
    And though I may fight through to the end,
    No dug-out or billet will be the same,
    All pals can only be pals in name,
    But we’ll all carry on till the end of the game
    Because you lie there.
