This new volume in the long-running Images of War series features the actions of the British Army at Ypres from 1914-15. Rare photographs illustrating the optimistic men of the BEF in the act of mobilization and transport to France are contrasted with photographs from the battlefield during the opening phases of the campaign, which culminated in the four-year struggle for the Ypres salient. The photographs are accompanied by a fascinating text, featuring Bruce Bairnsfather's personal description of the conditions endured by the men in the rudimentary trenches on the Ypres salient during 1914-15 as the early phase of the battle for Ypres raged around them. This book incorporates a wide range of photographic images encompassing the actions of the cavalry, infantry and artillery. Also featured are images, which depict the myriad activity behind the lines, dealing with German prisoners of war, the endless supply columns of the commissariat and the extraordinary efforts to provide proper medical care for the wounded.

Captain (Charles) Bruce Bairnsfather (9 July 1887-29 September 1959) was a prominent British humourist and cartoonist. His best-known cartoon character is Old Bill. Bill and his pals, Bert and Alf, featured in Bairnsfather's weekly 'Fragments from France' cartoons published weekly in The Bystander magazine during the First World War. Bairnsfather gained his experience as a machine-gun officer in the Ypres salient during 1914-15, and his pithy memoirs provide the perfect counterpart to the photographs in this volume.
