| FIRST YPRES 1914 : THE GRAVEYARD OF THE OLD CONTEMPTIBLES by David Lomas and (Illustrator) Ed Dovey In the autumn of 1914 the British Expeditionary Force faced a heavily reinforced German drive.

What occured was the first of the trench-warfare battles, where lines that would remain almost static for the rest of the war were established. Although the Germans failed to reach the channel ports, the death knell had rung for the BEF, which was virtually wiped out in this brave defence.2003, Osprey Publishing, Campaign Series, 185532573X,< D-01>,96pp, 15 colour & 70 + b/w photos, ills & maps, New in card cover, , CARDSubject...World War I - GeneralWeb No. 31779-02..............................£12.99 |
