In Their Words

Maps of Cantigny

Two maps of Cantigny are presented here, The first is a sketch of the entire area of operations around the village of Cantigny itself, with marks as to where each individual First Division unit was located prior to the battle as well as their movement at its beginning.
The second map is actually a aerial photograph with text and some markings that identify a few units drawn over it. This image was most likely not a map that would have been used during the battle but made afterwards to serve as a record thereof.
