The Western Front – South: Battlefield Guide (Major and Mrs Holt’s Battlefield Guides) by Tonie Holt, Valmai Holt
Requirements: .ePUB Reader | 29.7 MB
Overview: MAJOR & MRS HOLT’S Concise, Illustrated BATTLEFIELD GUIDE TO THE WESTERN FRONT- SOUTH contains many fascinating but little-visited areas by travelers and is hoped that they will be tempted further afield than the ‘showcase’ and sophisticatedly presented battlefields like the Somme to discover some marvelous sites. Many of them have lain virtually ‘dormant’ for many years (such as areas of the Meuse-Argonne and Champagne) but have recently been renovated and opened up by dedicated local enthusiasts. There are many ‘gems’ in store in this book.
Each battlefield starts with some pertinent quotations by participants, has a succinct Summary of the Battle, Opening Moves and What Happened sections then a Battlefield Tour which follows the same tried and tested formula as the rest of the series of a timed and measured itinerary with historic and anecdotal information at each stop. A detailed Sketch Map showing battle lines and each stop on the route accompanies every battle using the same color code (of yellow for memorials, purple for cemeteries, blue for museums) as the larger Holts’ Battle Maps.
Together the two books MAJOR & MRS HOLT’S Concise, Illustrated BATTLEFIELD GUIDE TO THE WESTERN FRONT- SOUTH and NORTH will form the most comprehensive and detailed English-language guides to the WW1 Western Front ever produced.
