Epilogue - Wayne Cocroft and Paul StamperReviews'In this superbly produced book, experts from Historic England have used a variety of tools to locate, identify and document physical evidence of the conflict. The result is remarkable and represents a definitive guide to most of what is left. Beautifully reproduced photographs are accompanied by explanatory text to provide a full explanation of each site and context... This book stands out as truly exceptional.' Phil Curme, The Western Front Association 'This is an outstanding and distinguished centennial contribution to World War I studies, of which the editors, contributors and the publishers... can all be justifiably proud. Handsomely and profusely illustrated, it portrays in immense detail the hugely significant but all-too-often overlooked homeland background to a war.' Geoffrey Stell, Industrial Archaeology Review I have reviewed a wealth of material over the course of the Great War Centenary but this book stands out as truly exceptional. Historic England is an organisation that deserves recognition for the work it does so well.
