Description
Arras, Vimy, Messines, Passchendaele an Cambrai. This volume in the long-running "Images of War" series features the actions of the British Army at Passchendaele. The book is comprised of rare photographs illustrating
the years of fighting on the northern sector of the Ypres salient, which finally culminated
in the capture of the ridge at Passchendaele, accompanied by a powerful text written by
Official War Correspondent Philip Gibbs, who was an eyewitness to the events.
Photographs from the battlefield illustrate the terrible conditions, which the British forces
on the battlefield endured in the notorious engagement, which has become synonymous
with mud and squalor.
This book incorporates a wide range of images, encompassing the actions of the British
infantry and their supporting artillery. Also featured are images which depict the almost
incomprehensible state of the waterlogged trenches. Portraits of the British troops are
contrasted with German prisoners of war and the endless battle to get the supply
columns through to the front.
