This books sits so well amongst all of the other tremendous books in the Battleground Europe series, and therefore is a vital point of reference and guidance to this element of the Battle of the Somme... Fantastic photographs are added to the text, such as the Leicesters and prisoner , the British soldier with fixed bayonet and wire cutters, as well as the famous inspiring photograph of British and German wounded walking together towards Mametz on the 17th of July, 1916.
