Description
The Pill-Boxes of Flanders by E. G. L. Thurlow is a detailed account of the 180 pill-boxes preserved on the Ypres Salient after World War I. This book provides a comprehensive history of these concrete structures, which served as strongholds during the war, but also became death traps in the hands of the enemy. The book is divided into chapters that explore the construction of the German concrete shelters and emplacements, as well as the locations of the pill-boxes themselves. Readers will find information on how to reach these sites, as well as a detailed account of the events that took place at specific locations such as Essex Farm and Kitchener's Wood. The book also covers the withdrawal of German forces in 1918 and the final advance of Allied troops. By examining the pill-boxes and their history, Thurlow provides a unique insight into the events of World War I and the tactics employed by both sides. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in military history and the history of the Ypres Salient.
