    Such a travesty and senseless loss of life with that campaign who would have thought a driver taking the wrong turn and a single gunshot would lead to the carnage that was WWI.
    Where 19th century tactics met 20th century weapons.

    I have included a few good reads from my shelves and give a quick run down on them;
    Pic #1 ~ Somme Phase 1 the opening moves of the campaign it's a 2 part set the 2 vols are not common.
    #2 ~ Hot Blood & Cold Steel general descriptions by those that were there facing relentless barrages and staying alive pretty good read.
    #3 ~ All of Lyn MacDonald's books she has written, are great reads "Somme" took her 10 years to compile I highly recommend her books.
    #4 ~ The Price Of Glory the battle for Verdun the decimation of the Frenchicon bleed France white by Germanyicon carnage on another level recommended.

    Sorry Roger thought I would put some of my reads out there, just a few of what I have on WWI that I thought forum members may want to source whether book or Kindle.
