So impressed was he that upon finishing the book, he immediately read it again. The following year, accompanied by his brother, he holidayed in France. This was the 75th annivers…
The Kaiser's Battle by Martin Middlebrook - how accurate are the statistics?

He estimated that about 21,000 men were reported missing that day, with more suffering a similar fate over the coming days as the offensive continued. Some downward …

Martin Middlebrook, who is so well known to members of The Western Front Association through his book ‘First Day on the Somme’ has sadly passed away, aged 91.
