This compendium looks at the lives of a selection of soldiers of the First World War who never returned home. Presented in chronological order, the narrative covers both significant battles and lesser known actions on the Western Front, including Mons, Ypres, the Somme, Loos and Amiens. Each pen picture is accompanied by a portrait and additional images, bringing the reader face to face with some of those who fought and died in the trenches and fields of Western Europe and culminates in a poignant final tribute to their service. Complemented with archive black and white and colourised images, this book is an invaluable guide for those with an interest in the human story of the First World War as well as the battlefield tourist.
