62nd Division’s Part in the Advance During the First half of the Final Hundred Days of the War. (25.8.18 to 17.10.18)

See Map 6 for the second half.

 The approximately parallel purple pecked lines are the 62 Div divisional boundaries while 62Div was in the line. The breaks between them in moving from West to East represent the periods when the division was resting and others were in the line. It looks as though, when it came to crossing obstacles like the Hindenburg Line and flooded rivers, 62Div was on duty.
