Pocket guide to the Western Front

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.
