6 Squadron RAF WW1 Bases

As a result of a recent query about 6 Squadron's movements from the start of the German Spring Offensive in March 1918 until the end of hostilities in November 1918, I found that the squadron moved eleven (11) times in seven (7) months, on one occasion spending only a single day before being obliged to pack up and move on due to the fluid nature of the front line. To help understand the distances involved, I updated the map of the Western Front that I have included in three of my books and I have attached the image to this past, as well as a table showing details of the eleven moves.
