BATTLE OF TURIN 1706 - Detailed Map of the fightings around the Castle of Lucento

BATTLE OF TURIN 7th September 1706 - Castle of Lucento

It was a hard work with researches on different and not matching sources. Finally I was able to remake the map of the French troops around the Castle of Lucento and its 4 farms. I also pointed out the names of the battallions of the Infrantry Regiment present at the fighting as well as the records of the Dragoons on foot Regiments defending the Castle. There is no other map on books or internet with these details.
