Dear All,
I have come across some Canadian mapping which has GSGS numbers,
some marked "GSGS Canada". These maps were produced by the Canadian
Dept. of National Defence in the 1930s and '40s. More recent military
mapping has MCE numbers.
I have, as yet, been unable to track down any information as to how
these relate to the British GSGS series. They only appear to have 3
digits not the usual 4 of a GSGS series.
Does anybody have any information about these series, ie do the
numbers clash with the British GSGS series numbers or are they
designed to complement them. Is there a seperate 440 series entry
for them or do they just go under same heading as the British maps.
Also I cannot find any info. relating to individual series, eg number
of sheets, coverage, indices etc.
If anyone knows anything about Canadian military mapping between the
wars, I would be interested in finding out how these maps fit into
the scheme of things.
Thanks,
Huw
