One with the original place names etc., and one with the basic geography in place, but with no names on it so that people can personalise their own versions.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-59080104022049090212020-09-21T05:19:55.268+01:002020-09-21T05:19:55.268+01:00Hi Bob -

White my printer/copier was still working I took some copies of the enlarged map. I'm thinking, though of perhaps about 40 years earlier when the Brittanic rival was perhaps Gallic rather than Teutonic...<br />Cheers,<br />Archduke PiccoloArchduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-62121151061055062222020-09-19T20:19:52.103+01:002020-09-19T20:19:52.103+01:00Maudlin Jack Tar,
