Among the various magazine-style publications that emerged between the Great War and the Second World War, ‘Twenty Years After – The Battlefields of 19141918 Then & Now’ is remarkable for its expansive scope and innovative approach of juxtaposing original wartime photographs with those taken in the late 1930s. The images from the 1930s reveal a battlefield vastly transformed, yet many war scars remain visible, including astonishing scenes of local French citizens selling piles of ordnance found in the ground, even in today's politically correct era. Accompanied by extensive text detailing numerous operations and locations across all fronts, particularly in France and Flanders, this work features thousands of stunning photographs, making it an excellent reference. Rather than being a mere publishing curiosity, ‘Twenty Years After – The Battlefields of 1914–1918 Then & Now serves as a captivating piece of Great War history that continues to hold significant value today.
