BRITISH MEMORIALS OF THE GREAT WAR
£9.99
A historical and attractive guide to the various national, regimental and divisional memorials on the Western Front, with photographs and maps, and also notes on memorials further afield including Gallipoli. Published in the 1930s by pioneer travel agency and printing company Dean & Dawson, who conducted battlefield visits. An interesting contemporary tour prospectus is reprinted with this book that outlines the various tours to the Somme, Ypres, Arras etc, along with the maps that accompanied the original publication.
Description
Tour operators such as Dean & Dawson helped form the ‘Roots of Remembrance’ that 100+ years on still attract pilgrims in their droves to visit the Western Front and its memorials to the fallen.
A fascinating aside about Dean & Dawson.
In 1944, in the great escape from Stalag Luft III, the name Dean and Dawson was used as a code name by the forgers who produced counterfeit documents for the escaping prisoners of war, detailed in the book ‘The Great Escape’.
