More than 450 contemporary photo graphs feature in this pictorial study of the armies at war during 1914-1918. Each illustration is accompanied by detailed captions and each has been chosen to illustrate a specific item or event. They cover all the theatres and fronts of the Great War, permitting readers to compare uniforms, weapons and accountrements between the warring forces, from the Western Front to the Middle East. In addition to the photographs and chronologies are sections that focus on the armies of specific nations - with useful notes and further reading.
