BELLEAU WOOD AND VAUX: 1 to 26 June & July 1918

1-238980

Latest in a series of Battleground books differs from other guide books is the number of points to visit as well as the clear narrative that precedes the tours section of these WWI battlefields. Not only are many new points of interest explored in Belleau itself, but the surrounding countryside is not forgotten. Headquarters, temporary burial sites and other features are included.

The book is profusely illustrated by contemporary photographs and numerous maps, the narrative supplemented by a number of first hand accounts; the whole is supported by several walking and car tours. It is fortunate that so many of the AEF's actions took place in parts of France that have seen little development and are in agricultural or wooded country, which means that traces of their fighting are relatively plentiful.
