408pp, illust. (b&w and colour). New book. The New Zealand Division's campaign in France and Flanders in 1916-18 was the birth of the modern New Zealand Army. At Armentieres, First Somme (with the first tanks in support), Messines, and Third Ypres, it established a high reputation. This comprehensive military history can be said to be unique, as it also incorporates a detailed logistical guide to the battlefields - of great value to those planning a visit to where their fore-fathers fought - and a description of the contemporary "Western Front". This is in the form of a 12 page pilgrimage diary. 135 wartime and contemporary illustrations and 41 maps enhance a moving narrative.
