Tim,
A lot of these maps won't rectify, even though I've completed all the
control points. The one I've just come up with is

I tinkered with the "Kilimanjaro to Tsavo Stn. U.R.. WOOS-8-3-1" map a fair

Hi folks,
so after a fix was applied to the Wikimaps Warper the collection of
581 maps from Wikimedia Commons was re-imported and added to a mosaic
(layer)
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:War%20Office%20Archive%20%E2%80%93%20British%20East%20Africa
The mosaic:

The export tab http://warper.wmflabs.org/maps/629#Export_tab includes a WMS
link "for JOSM OpenStreetMap Editor"
I haven't tried it yet as my company have firewalled the office with an
https whitelist.

to hand, but perhaps Tim Waters will be able to tell us.
