With conscription introduced, Zeppelins carrying out bombing raids
on key towns and cities across England, the Battle of Jutland
seeing fourteen British ships sunk and the Battle of the Somme
claiming 20,000 British dead on the first day alone, the resolve of
the British and allied troops in 1916 was being sorely tested. The
Great War Illustrated 1916 is the third picture volume in this
series that deals exclusively with actions fought throughout the
year on the Western Front. Split into five chapters, the authors
begin with the British defeat at Kut, showing photographs from
British and Turkish perspectives throughout the four-month
campaign. The second chapter explores the new technological
advances made by both sides throughout the year including new
tanks, aircraft and guns. Photographs show the new equipment in
action on the battlefield as well as being manufactured on
production lines in the factories back home. We then turn to the
Battle of Verdun, one of the largest battles of the First World
War, before exploring the Battle of Jutland. Being the only
full-scale naval clash of the entire First World War, the two-day
battle saw twenty-five ships sunk and over 8,000 men killed on both
sides and the authors analyse the battle in full detail,
illustrating the ships that were involved and the men who sailed
upon them. The concluding chapter explores the infamous Battle of
the Somme, from the horrendous losses suffered on 1 July to the
arduous battle of attrition that followed thereafter. Split into
sub-sections, detailed analysis of the Australians, Canadians and
British troops are featured along with a final section showing
winter conditions in the area at the end of the year. With over
1,300 painstakingly enhanced and restored photographs and a
thirty-two page full colour section, the work within these pages
represents a real labour of love and offers the reader an
exceptional picture library of rare and unseen pictures that is
easily accessible for the general reader and military enthusiast
alike.
