A classic Battlefield Guide from
'After the Battle'. In this revised edition John Giles
has succeeded in recapturing the atmosphere of an era
when men fought savage battles in and around
water-filled trenches, amongst the stinking litter of
war. Eye-witness accounts of the bitter fighting are
blended with contemporary photographs and comparison
pictures taken by the author of the same places today.
The result is a salute to all those men who marched
along the roads of Picardy to the trenches of the Somme
battleground, many of whom never returned.
