PEN SWORD BOOKS

The Battleground Europe series of guides is designed for both the battlefield visitor and the armchair traveller. There is extensive guidance on how to make the most of your battlefield visit. The historical significance of each site is described in detail with the aid of maps and photographs. The village of Bullecourt, France was incorporated into the formidable Hindenburg Line when the Germans carried out their strategic withdrawal in February 1917. Attacked unsuccessfully as part of the Battle of Arras on 11th April 1917, it was finally captured in May after a second major assault. The book details the actions of the Australians but also includes the contributions made by the 7th, 58th and 62nd British Divisions.

Pen and Sword Military

The village of St. Julian figured in several battles of the First World War, but this new volume in the Battleground Europe series concentrates on the site's darkest moment: the first use of poison gas as a weapon of war. The St. Julian region saw many acts of courage in the face of unknown and deadly weapons. Maps, photos and sketches cover all the major units and actions at the site, including all eight Victoria Crosses won, and provide a guide to the area as it is today.
