War Office.. 1957.. Two color maps, printed back to back on one fabric sheet 25 1/2 x 28 inches, folded as issued. Very good condition. This fabric map (also loosely described as a "silk" map) is an "evasion", "survival" or "escape" map compiled for the British forces during the Cold War era, and printed by the British game manufacturer John Waddington Ltd. These light-weight maps, issued in large quantities during the Second World War, contained information to facilitate escape to friendly territory. At a scale of 1:1,000,000 (1 inch to 13.71 miles), the Kweilin map covers the area from coordinates 108 to 114 degrees east and 24 to 28 degrees north, a large portion of southern China just north of Canton. The map of Fu-Chou covers the area from coordinates of 114 to 120 degrees east and 24 to 28 degrees north, a large portion of southern China just north of Hong Kong. The topography is indicated with contour lines. There is great detail, with marshes, lakes, coral reefs etc marked. Both sides are marked RESTRICTED. .
