From the Publisher

�On the Somme battlefields of France,� writes Martin Middlebrook, �nearly half a million human beings were killed or died of wounds, illness, or privation in two world wars.� In this moving volume, the authors provide a definitive guide to the cemeteries, memorials, and battlefields from the age of Cr�cy and Agincourt to the great Allied sweep that drove the Germans back in 1944. Brief chapters consider the routes from the Channel ports, the western Somme, and the towns of Amiens and Doullens, but the majority of the text covers the scenes of ferocious fighting in 1916 and 1918. Comrades buried soldiers where they fell, just behind the lines, in local French graveyards, around medical stations, and in �concentration cemeteries.� The authors list each site, setting them in historical context. The result is a both a visitor�s companion and a magnificent work of commemoration.
