New in the Battleground Ypres series of guides, this covers the Belgian Sector 1914-1918, north from Ypres to the North Sea coast. A 257-page soft-cover battlefield guide, providing the historical background along with a number of tours described in detail. A little different from the other books in the Battleground Great War series, as this focusses in particular on the story of the Belgian Army during the war.

For anyone planning a post Covid battlefield tour the book is an essential purchase. Handy pocket sized and with an excellent Advice To Tourers Section which is up to date and full of helpful information. One particularly good section is the information on the French contribution to Gallipoli which is sometimes underplayed by British writers.

Excellent detail is given on the Cemeteries and Memorials, as well as various optional tours of the area - always an great element to this whole tremendous series, alongside personal tours to bring you on to the battlefield, with cemetery detail broken down. This book, like all in the series does its job; to act as an aid on the battlefield, and also to encourage the reader to want to visit this section of the Western Front.

I have to admit here that this was/is a totally different book to what I expected, but it was a pleasant surprise. I expected to be reading biographies celebrating brave young men, whilst I did get that later in the book. What you do get for about the first 80 pages of the book is the detail of the Battle at Amiens, which is very good and stunning in detail, which I must say runs throughout the book. I was probably thinking just because I knew about the battle I didn’t need to know about it. But I was wrong, the battle was very well written and informative. The amount of research and documentation that has been gone through is phenomenal. We then go onto the stories that were awarded Victoria Crosses. Again the research and information is stunning, Paul Oldfield the author has done an amazing job with the research and background. Generally this is pretty much it, but don’t be fooled the work, battle, biographies in this particular book is first class. The book is also supported by.. Read more
