An overgrown concrete bunker at Ypres; a rusting gun carriage in a
field in Flanders; perfectly preserved trenchworks at Vimy,
northern France; a rocky mountaintop observation post high in the
Tyrolean mountains. More than 100 years after the end of World War
I, the conflict's legacy can still be seen from Europe to the
Pacific. Abandoned Places of World War I explores more than 120
bunkers, trench systems, tunnels, fortifications and gun
emplacements from North America to East Africa. Included are
defensive structures, such as Fort Douaumont at Verdun, the site of
the Western Front's bloodiest battle; the elaborately constructed
tunnels of the Wellington Quarry, near Arras, designed to provide a
safe working hospital for wounded British soldiers; and crumbling
concrete pill boxes in Anzac Cove, Turkey. From the preserved
remains of the mighty Przemysl fortress to bunkers and observation
points high in the Slovenian Dolomites, Abandoned Places of World
War I features more than 180 striking photographs from around the
world.
