At the Somme, you can trace the old trench lines by the cemeteries dotting the farmland. Some have just a few soldiers, others tens of thousands.
Just found that. Thanks. I’m going to dig into that. I love stuff like that.
I’ve followed the bombing runs on the Ploesti refinery during WW2. You can find maps and written accounts of the raid. Then look at Satellite view and see the bomb craters etc.
Same with the Arc Light raids in Viet Nam. The farmers there have made fish ponds out of some of the bomb craters.

Steven Upton has some drone vids on youtube of various Cemetaries and battlefields along the Western Front. He uses old trench maps.
