The Western Front - North: Battlefield Guide (Major and Mrs Holt's Battlefield Guides)

Following in their best-selling series of Battlefield Guides this is a companion volume to the Holtsâ€™ Western Front â€“ South Guide. Between the two, they cover the main WW1 Western Front battlefields. This book covers 15 of the most significant battles of the northern area from Nieuwport to just north of The Somme.

Whether travelling on the ground or in the mind, the reader is carefully guided through the battlefields with a mixture of succinct military history, cameo memories and stories of VCs and other personalities, interspersed with references to the literature and poetry of the war.
