In September 1915 Kitcherner's men were in action for the first time in the largest offensive of the year. Using gas, British troops managed to open a three mile gap in the German line. However, misuse of the reserves allowed the chance of success to pass by. In the following struggle for Hohenzollern Redboubt, the British were defeated time after time by superior weapons and tactics. For the first time visitors will be able to explore this key battle, a battle that cost the BEF over 50,000 casualties.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Evolution of the British Army
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2013

This book is very well written on a significant portion of the Battle of Loos in 1915, a key point in the evolution of the British Army into what it had become in 1918, a combined-arms force on the cutting edge of modernity.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best books for touring Loos battlefield
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 21, 2013
Verified Purchase
For those who have toured the battlefields of the Ypres Salient and the Somme, and wants a different large-scale WW1 battle to visit and get their teeth into, the Battle of Loos is a good choice. Remarkably little has changed in the 98 years since what was at the time Britain's largest battle ever. It is still flat, dotted with nineteenth century slag heaps but mostly farmland.

I have just returned from five days of battlefield touring with my brother, which included two days walking the Loos battlefield where our grandfather fought in 1915. Andrew Rawson's two books in the Battlefield Europe series (this for the northern half of the battlefield, and the other, Hill 70, which covers the southern half) were indispensable to us in understanding this complex battle. Rawson divides the battlefield up into sectors, each a minor battle in itself, gives a detailed description of what happened and supplies detailed walks that enable the reader to understand each phase of the battle, and in particular suggests good places to park (very useful since these are not always that obvious on some very fast roads), and paths that give the best views and access to various features, without trampling on farmers crops or causing a nuisance to others.

A section at the end on the local war cemeteries is particularly useful allowing one to find which cemetery relates to the dead of which phase of the battle, and where to find famous graves such as V.C. winners etc..

For anyone touring this battlefield, or with a serious interest in the Battle of Loos, this book and its companion are indispensable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality historical information.

Paperback book arrived in one piece in a good quality, strong package. Bought because I wanted to learn more about this area & battle where my grandad fought in WW1. Easy to read as well as understand my only negative was I'd have liked better / more maps of areas & trench systems maybe super imposed onto modern day maps?

The writer clearly has a great knowledge of the sbject but the information comes thick and fast and is not the most reader friendly. Perhaps better for the reader with some prior knowledge.

4.0 out of 5 stars of a good many soldiers who fought in this battle
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 12, 2016

The records, of a good many soldiers who fought in this battle. This account will help put flesh on the bone for those who have been looking in vain to discover facts about their great grandfather's, who fought in these trenches during 1915 - especially those of the Highland Regiments, whose records were lost to fire during the Second World War.
