The Battlefields Trust is concerned with battlefields under threat all over the world.

Early intelligence of threats to particular battlefields is essential if the Trust is to mount effective action against such threats eg by opposing planning permission for gravel extraction, building developments, road schemes etc but there are frequently very tight deadlines for lodging such objections.

PLEASE therefore could YOU send in reports of any changes or impending changes in the state of the battlefields you visit to the Co-ordinator of the Battlefields Trust.

This provides a detailed large-scale map for each of the 43 battlefields on the register showing for each battlefield troop positions and the boundary of the main battle area of the battlefield - according to the consensus view of the English Heritage Battlefields Panel, backed by research of the original sources done by the National Army Museum.

This superb book covers over 20 countries in Europe including Great Britain summarising the key battles and also gives a classification system for the state of preservation of each battlefield.

Each battle entry has two symbols: a capital letter followed by one to four asterisks.
The capital letter signifies an estimate of the suitability of the battlefield for a visit to the ground, ranging from
an 'A' site (easily accessible and practically unchanged)
to a 'D' site (difficult to reach and practically unrecognisable).
The asterisks relate to the historical and military interest with four asterisks denoting a very important action and one asterisk a conflict of comparitively minor importance.
