A new must-have book about this important battlefield. I went to school with Steve so I’m perhaps biased, but this is a superb one volume history & guide. Highly recommended.

As well as the background to the battle, this brings life to the story of the battlefield that was Verdun, a focus for the French and German armies during WW1, scene of huge casualty lists and vicious fighting... This book will certainly go with me next time we are in the area.

A helpful section at back of book provides information on the Memorials which are in La Boisselle. Also included is a fantastic CWGC map which shows the location of the cemeteries in the La Boisselle area. For walking the area excellent individual tour summaries are included using the expertise of the author. Another cemetery overview included is that of Gordon dump Cemetery. Detail is given of 2nd Lieutenant Donal Simpson Bell VC, 9th Battalion Yorkshire Regiment; all important stories that add the personal input when visiting these special sies. One, for example, guiding your through the route of La Boiselle to Becourt via the Eastern side of Sausage Valley past Lochnager Crater to return to La Boiselle. This book is absolutely essential for walking the ground on the battlefields, particularly if it is an area or aspect of the war which you are less familiar with.
