WHEN Germany declared war on
France in August 1914, nobody could have predicted the conflict would be one of
the deadliest in human history. The combination of trench warfare, modern
weaponry and unimaginably high casualties made an indelible imprint on the
landscape and its people.
Publishing company Bradt has
produced World War I Battlefields, a compact
practical travel guide to the Western Front. Including both well-known and
little-visited sites, it includes information on touring the battlefields by
bike, car or on foot. This full-colour guidebook has advice on archives,
researching family members and battlefields tours.
It’s written by John Ruler, a travel writer
and Nord-Pas de Calais specialist, and costs £6.99.
