Condizione: New. 176pp with 200 b/w photos, 2001 N&MP Reprint of 1919 Original EditionPublished Price £6.99 The book opens with an interesting, brief history of the cathedral city where French kings were traditionally crowned before leading into the Great War. The Germans occupied Rheims for a short time in September 1914 but were forced to withdraw. Thereafter they subjected the town to frequent bombardments throughout the war, inflicting enormous damage on the place; the famous cathedral was badly knocked about. The fighting for the town in 1914 is described as is, briefly, the disastrous French Nivelle offensive of April 1917, the German last fling in July 1918 and the final operations of September-November 1918, all with explanatory maps.There are two itineraries of the town with accompanying street plans, and four tours of the battlefield. The photos are, as usual, of great interest, showing Rheims before and during the war. Book.…

Condizione: New. 128pp. b/w photos, maps and town plans. 2003 N&MP Reprint of 1920 Original Edition One of the famous series of Michelin guides to the Great War battlefields. This book is primarily concerned with the French offensives of May and September 1915 in which they suffered appalling casualties. It takes you through such places as Notre Dame de Lorette (now the French National Memorial), Carency, Souchez, Ablain St Nazaire, Vimy and, of course, Arras itself. The British part in the overall plan (Joffre's) was at Aubers Ridge in May and Loos in September; both are outside the scope of this book. The British Arras offensive of April/May 1917 is briefly described. There are numerous, splendid photos of the battlefields before, during and just after the war. There are many familiar places, hard to recognize as they are today; nevertheless this is an evocative record and one full of interest to today's pilgrims. Book.…

Condizione: New. 136pp with maps and numerous b/w photos 2001 N&MP Reprint of 1919 Original EditionPublished Price £6.95 The first thirty pages provide an overview of the offensive, the objectives, the theory, methods and tactics adopted and the part played by each arm in the different phases of the attack. In this preamble, which takes the reader up to the German withdrawal to the Hindenburg Line in February/March 1917, Gough is mistakenly referred to as commanding Second Army (page 2) instead of Fifth (Reserve Army till 30 October1916). Then follows an illustrated guide to the battlefield which covers both French and British operations with maps and photos, focussing on the area Albert-Bapaume-Peronne and the valley of the Somme, taking in all the battles in which the BEF was involved during the four and a half months' campaign.

Condizione: New. SB. 264pp with 488 b/w photos and maps 2001 N&MP Reprint of 1919 Original Edition This book begins with a thirteen page account of the Battle of the Marne which it advises the tourist to read before going on to the descriptive part, so that he or she has an understanding of the action as a whole; the operations described here lasted from 6 to 13 September 1914. This account is supported with maps and photos of commanders on both sides. Then follows the tourist section in which the battlefields are divided into three sub-divisions which correspond to the three main sectors of the battle: The Ourcq (with visits to Chantilly, Senlis and Meaux); the Marshes of St Gond (with visits to Coulommiers, Provins and Sezanne); and the Revigny Pass (with visits to Chalons sur Marne, Vitry le Francois and Bar le Duc). Descriptions provide something of the history of the towns and places of interest, with pre-war and wartime photos, as well as a guide to the battlefields in the area. Book.…
