Closeup of area where Blunden recovered the map on July 31, 1917. St. Julien is northeast of Ypres (“Ypern” in German) at the upper edge of the panel; Passchendaele is just above St. Julien on the next panel. To the left of Passchendaele is seen “Langhemarcq” (Langemarck). The area shown in this detail was, along with Verdun in France, the most violently fought over terrain in the whole of the Great War.
