I’ve been banging my drum about this series of books for a while now and I’m not ashamed to say the song remains the same in this review.

So what about the snaps? Well, they are fantastic. The quality and the range is stunning. Once again, though, the key to all this are the captions and Alistair Smith has done a fantastic job of explaining the minutiae of German uniforms and equipment and the places the soldiers found themselves in.

It might be you are just setting out on the Great War trail and if so, then this is a really great place to start because so much of what we read concentrates on the British experience. If you go deeper into the German experience you will come into the orbit of Jack Sheldon, but until then, books like this are a grand slice of nursery slope. If you are a veteran then this will just reinforce why you were here in the first place. It is a winner all round.

Another in the highly collectable 'Images of War' series of books featuring a collection of rare photographs from wartime archives, many previously unpublished. This work features images from an album belonging to an unnamed German infantry soldier portraying life and conditions in the German trenches in all its varied aspects.
Well worth a look 9/10
