SOMME 1916 A BATTLEFIELD COMPANION
Book Type: C By Gerald Gliddon. This survey of the Somme battlefield has become an indispensable reference work for all those with an interest in this most horrific of First World War battles. Set out topographically, it covers everything from the famous battle sites of High Wood and Mametz Wood to obscure villages on the outlying flanks. The British first began to take the Somme sector over from the French Army in June 1915. From this time onwards they built up a very close bond with the local population, many of whom continued to live in local villages close to the front line. The author draws on the latest research and analysis, as well as the testimony of those who took part, to present all aspects of a battle that was to become a symbol of the horrors of the Great War. 560 pp.
