Book Description

Author and army officer John Masters has cast a personal, emotional and wandering light on the First World War.

He focuses on the battles of Mons and Le Cateau; Coronel and the Falkland Islands; the war in the air; Passchendaele; the Zeebruge Raid; and Armageddon, the final campaign in Palestine.

The photographs illustrate the set-piece battles and also provide other glimpses of the war.

Includes excerpts from the war diary of Mrs Ethel M Bilbrough of Chislehurst, as the authentic voice of England of those days.
