WILLIAM LANGFORD / JACK HOLROYD
The second volume of this pictorial WWI history chronicles the pivotal events of 1915—from the Gallipoli campaign to the Battle of Loos. The Great War Illustrated series presents a vivid chronicle of the First World War in photographs, with a separate volume dedicated to each year of the conflict. Richly furnished with archival images, many of which have rarely been seen before, each installment brings readers into the drama and devastation of combat. The photographs are all numbered, captioned, and supported by informative text. The Great War Illustrated–1915 presents more than 1,000 images, with a middle section in full color. The volume begins with bitter losses for the Royal Navy and the failed attempt to take control of the Dardanelles. The action then moves to France, covering the battles of Neuve Chapelle, Hill 60, and Loos.
