Book Synopsis
"The great military cemeteries found along the Messines Ridge and around the town of Ieper (Ypres) in Flanders, Belgium, are the last resting place of hundreds of thousands of soldiers who died during the First World War..." – Regiments of the Dead The extraordinary photographs were taken at different times of year to record the atmospheric and evocative memorials to the war dead of 1914–1918, in a manner not seen before. Immaculately maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission as a lasting memorial to the fallen the gravestones, when viewed from above, can be seen to resemble soldiers on parade. Paul Shenton's interest in the battlefields and military cemeteries of the First World War began when he came across his grandfather's medals representing his service as a sergeant with the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards during 1914–1918. This find prompted research into the engagements that his grandfather took part in and many trips to the battlefields and cemeteries of the Ypres Salient area in Flanders.
