Messina1915 Posted 11 May , 2008 Share Posted 11 May , 2008 A few years ago, when I was too young to properly appreciate the contents, I took a book on Passchendaele out of the library. I can't remember the title or author, and it's no longer in the library (at least not the edition I would recognise). I do remember the cover: it was beige, very light brown or some similar colour with a poppy on it, as far as I can recall. I've searched Amazon for books on Passchendaele, but quite a few don't have a cover picture, and it's not one of the ones that do. Would appreciate knowing which book it was, if anyone can help. Cheers, Carole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Reed Posted 11 May , 2008 Share Posted 11 May , 2008 Sounds like the one by Philip Warner. I can't find an image of the hardback d/j but am sure that had a poppy on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willywombat Posted 11 May , 2008 Share Posted 11 May , 2008 Carole, I would imagine it was 'They Called It Passchendaele" Lyn MacDonald. ISBN 0 333 52971 5. Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Reed Posted 11 May , 2008 Share Posted 11 May , 2008 Could be that one indeed - never seen that d/j myself! Only the 1st edn with the Cross of Sacrifice on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messina1915 Posted 11 May , 2008 Author Share Posted 11 May , 2008 Bob, I'm not sure if that is it - as I recall, the poppy was the only picture on the cover of the one I was looking for - and having read the blurb for Paul's suggestion it sounds a more likely that that was the one - as I recall the book, it wasn't Lyn MacDonald's style, but I might be wrong.

Chris_Baker Posted 23 May , 2008 Share Posted 23 May , 2008 I seem to recall an edition of Leon Wolff's "Passchendaele 1917" that was a buff colour with poppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
