Product Description

Product Description

Beaumont Hamel was the Somme sector assigned as an objective to the independent-minded professional-class reservists of the London Division in 1916; they achieved better results than their more conservative comrades of the Regular Army. This "Battleground Europe" book contains all the detail, on the battle and the battlefield as it is today, that the series is famous for.

A Somme Epic! 12 Oct 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
On the first day of the Somme, July 1st 1916, the VIII Corps lost 14,000 officers and men trying to capture this village, the high ground surrounding it, and the neighbouring village of Serre. Beaumont Hamel was not captured until November 13th 1916.

This excellent book covers both battles of July and November. It contains excellent maps, and some amazing aerial pictures of the battlefield as it was in 1916. There are many stories of the men who fought and died there. There is also an excellent guide to the numerous battlefield cemeteries which abound in the area. A must read for the serious student of the Great War, and also an excellent guide for the visitor.

A muist buy.

I first read this book a few years ago. Thoroughly researched with good maps and photos, this is a worthy addition to the many books about the somme 1916. If you are a first time visitor to the somme, then this is a must-buy. Good accounts of the terrible battle fought there during the summer and autumn months of 1916.

Somme 24 May 2000
By Eric Albert Redfearn - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Beaumont-Hamel is one of the mosy interesting areas of the Somme today. Just south of the village, numerous trenches abound and not far away are some of the Commonwealth war graves which abound in the area. The area is associated with the Newfoundland regiment which fought here on 1st July, 1916 and suffered losses of more than 90%. Nigel Cave has produced a well-researched book with many good photos and maps. Thoroughly recommended.
