註釋This new edition of the classic WWI battlefield guide is updated with current information and a new walking tour through Mametz Wood.

Paul Reed’s Walking the Somme is an essential traveling companion for anyone visiting the site of the 1916 Battle of the Somme. It distills a lifetime of research into the battle and the landscape over which it was fought. Combining expert insight, historical context and practical information, Reed guides visitors on walks through Gommecourt, Serre, Beaumont-Hamel and Thiepval to Montauban, High Wood, Delville Wood and Flers.

The fifteen original walking tours have been fully revised and updated. There is also a new walking tour tracing the operations around Mametz Wood. Walking the Somme brings the visitor not only to the places where the armies clashed but to the landscape of monuments, cemeteries and villages that make the Somme battlefield so moving to explore.
