Admin kenf48 Posted 2 September , 2016 Admin Share Posted 2 September , 2016 (edited) Tonie and Valmai Holt 'Battlefield of the First World War A Traveller's Guide has a 25 mile 3hrs 30 min motor tour of Cambrai covering IV Corps Area. (about 10 pages) ISBN 1-902616-29-4. Try interlibrary loan though I see Amazon have a copy for a penny!!! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Battlefields-First-World-War-Travellers/dp/1851453644 Their 'guide to the Western Front - South' also covers this part of the Front but can't comment on that other than it probably is of a similar high standard https://www.amazon.co.uk/Major-Holts-Concise-Guide-Western/dp/1844152391 Also Forum Pal Nigel Cave and Jack Horsfall's Battlefield Europe Trilogy; Cambrai the right hook; Flesquieres and Bourlon Wood I can't speak to the first two but I found the third invaluable for researching my interest. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cambrai-Right-Hook-Hindenburg-Sword-ebook/dp/B00DN4UNFM/ref=sr_1_18?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1472826508&sr=1-18&keywords=battlefield+europe+nigel+cave Ken Edited 2 September , 2016 by kenf48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
