Guide to the Australian Battlefields of the Western Front, 1916-1918

This is the classic guide to this area of operations that the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) worked through during 1916-1918 inclusive. Although written several years ago, the guide remains quite accurate and does more than describe the type of battle conducted in the various locations. Due to his service as a soldier, this guide gives you the soldiers perspective of the battle taking into account the ground, the conditions, the weather and the morale of the troops. The guide covers the end period of British command of the Australian Corps, and is detailed in the descriptions covering the time frame of when the Corps was commanded by General Monash and an all Australian Corps Staff. The guide describes in detail both Memorial and Cemetery locations, how to get there, what to see and is invaluable for all those persons embarking on their own tour of the Western Front area. pp. 192 illusts #0318
