The French army of the First World War withstood the main force of
the German onslaught on the Western Front, but often it is
neglected in English histories of the conflict. Now, though, keen
interest in the war in general and in the part the French played in
it has prompted a fresh appreciation of their army and the men who
served in it. Ian Sumner's wide-ranging photographic history is an
important contribution in this growing field. Using a selection of
over 150 rare wartime photographs, he provides a graphic overview
of every aspect of a French soldier's service during the struggle.
But while the photographs create a fascinating all-round portrait
of the French poilu at war, they also give an insight into the army
as a whole, and offer a rare French perspective on the Great War.
