The diary of Regimental Sergeant Major George Beck
First World War diaries 100 years from when they were written during campaigns on the Western Front
I have found it difficult to find ‘Le Monsel’ on modern or contemporary maps. Are you able to locate it for me?
Dear Ronald,
We believe that Beck misspelt Le MONTCEL which is in the vicinity of Ypres.
I hope that helps. Best wishes,
