This addition to the growing series of battlefield guides has been
written by Michael Stedman, author of Thiepval. Drawing upon the
wealth of material available in both national and local archives,
documentary evidence, personal reminiscence and British and German
unit histories, La Boiselle will add enormously to the experience
of any visitor to this extraordinary location on the Somme
battlefield.This distinctive volume has ample detail to satisfy the
discerning expert whilst retaining the accessible style which will
ensure that anyone new to these magnificently informative places
will feel at home with the text. Apart from the historical detail,
La Boiselle is illuminated by a distinctive and detailed array of
maps and aerial photographs which will guide the reader both at
home and in the field. To support the maps a sequence of
contemporary and comparison present-day photographs will enable
students to plan and execute a series of enjoyable, informative and
evocative tours through the locality.These walks will guide people
to little-known sections of still existent front-line and assembly
trenches, dug-outs, gun-pits and observation posts, past the
memorials and cemeteries, with an eye for detail as well as to the
human and personal experience of the conflict. If you are
researching the story of a family member who served or is
commemorated here, if you wish to deepen and illuminate a visit to
a new Western Front location, if you are a student of the
battlefield and the military tactics employed here, La Boiselle
will add enormously to your knowledge and understanding of this
powerful place. In an unsentimental manner, La Boiselle can
transport you back across eight decades to understand something of
the experience of the Tommies and their German counterparts who
fought and died here during the Great War.
