5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Good Book on The Somme 1916, 2 Dec 2004
By E. A. Redfearn "eredfearn2" (Middlesbrough) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This excellent Pen and Sword series is enhanced by an excellent account of the Canadian Corp engagments at Courcelette during the late autumn months of 1916. The Canadians fought in some of the worse terrain during September; October and November 1916 gaining much ground around the village of Courcelette and the awful German trench system of which Regina Trench was the longest stretch of single trench which existed on the Western Front at that time. The book gives very good accounts of what happened during those months. It is also a great human account too; many stories are told of heroism, fighting against impossible odds across heavily cratered ground in order to clear the enemy defences before the winter finally brought the battles to an end. I cannot rate this book too highly for it is well researched with numerous photographs of the battlefield as it was in 1916, and also how it looked during the post war years. Moreover; it is also useful for the battlefield visitor with numerous tours set out in detail with recommended visits. A worthy memorial too for the many Canadian soldiers who fought and died on the Somme and whose remains were never recovered.

4.0 out of 5 stars Detailed account of Canadian troops at the Somme, 1 Mar 2001
By P. T. Wilding (Warwickshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Another excellent addition to the Battleground series, detailing the Battle of Flers - Corcelette in Sept 1916. Focuses on the efforts of the Canadian divisions who bore the brunt of this sector of the Somme battle which had developed into a war of attrition. Also covers the first major deployment of tanks in the War. Fine use of photographs and maps to take the reader step by step through the dreadful fighting that ensued. It also identifies individual acts of bravery that is quite humbling to a modern day reader cocooned from the harsh realities of war.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 28 Jan 2005
A great book, like pretty much all of those in the Battleground Europe series, really! Packed with detail, good maps, good pictures, and flowing text, and as its Paul Reed, you can be sure that its been well researched, and very accurate.
I'd single this book out as being indespensable if you get the chance to go to the Somme, and just try some of the tours advised in the back- excellent stuff!
