The Somme Battlefields: A comprehensive guide from Crecy to the two world wars (1994) By Martin & Mary Middlebrook
 
On a visit to France & Belgium in 1967, Martin Middlebrook was so impressed by the military cemeteries on the 191418 battlefields that he decided to write a book describing just one day in that war through the eyes of the ordinary men who took part.
 
 An essential book for anyone wishing to visit the Somme Battlefields. It describes every place on the Somme where there is a military cemetery, a memorial, a preserved trench, crater or other reminder of battle, a chateau where a general had his headquarters; more than 500 places. A history book as well as a guide in that every section is introduced with it's background.
