Ypres
Ypres: The First Battle 1914 examines the fighting in Flanders during October and November 1914, when British, French and German armies struggled for control of the approaches to Ypres. Beckett follows the exhausted British Expeditionary Force through repeated attacks and desperate defensive actions that helped end the war of movement in the west. The book explains the battle’s tactical course, severe losses and place in the creation of the Western Front’s trench system.
