Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. After the First World War, how many thousands of British families would have proud or bitter reason to remember the name St Quentin? At least eight Divisions, 23 Brigades, 74 Battalions an enormous number of fighting men, a weight of experience, courage, defeat and victory, all to be traced through these fields and villages round the city. There is much to honour here: exhausted British troops marching south in the Retreat from Mons in August 1914, resistance attacks on the Hindenburg Line in 1917, desperate feats of arms in the final German onslaught in the Spring of 1918. Many impressive individual and collective achievements, captured guns, Victoria Crosses richly earned. The ancient city itself suffered too - bombardment by French and British artillery, its citizens subjected and exploited by the occupying German forces, then evacuated ahead of the withdrawal to the Hindenburg Line - before its final liberation in October 1918. The book gives details of positions, redoubts, attacks, lines of advance and retreat, with many illustrations provided from local sources. Most of the positions described can still be traced and the sites of some epic events located. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Most of the positions described can still be traced and the sites of some epic events located. The story of St. Quentin is a rather different one from others in the Battleground Europe series. The French town was not the scene of just a single battle, but played a role throughout World War I. St. Quentin was the scene of several gallant actions by both British cavalry and infantry during the fighting retreat of 1914. The onset of trench warfare found St. Quentin well behind German lines.In early 1917 the Germans withdrew from the village to a strong line of fortifications to the rear, destroying much of St. Quentin so the buildings could not be used by the British. During the back-and-forth battles of 1917 and 1918 the village site saw a number of desperate battles, including several involving the 36th Ulster Division. This heavily illustrated work includes information on the area as it is today. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
