The Battle of Loos saw a change in Allied strategy, which up until then had been a series of small-scale assaults that achieved little or no ground gained.

Loos was to be different, Kitchener's Army was deployed in strength for the first time and an ambitious plan aimed to take ground over a 20-mile front. As the fog of war descended the first day's gains were lost over subsequent days' fighting and in the end the 'Big Push' saw little achieved with Allied losses of about 50,000 men. Through quotes and maps the text explores the unfolding action of the battle and puts the reader on the frontline. If you truly want to understand what happened and why – read Battle Story.

AUTHOR: Peter Doyle specialises in the understanding of military terrain, with special reference to the two world wars. A member of the British Commission of Military History, and cosecretary of the Parliamentary All Party War Graves and Battlefield Heritage Group, he is the author of a number of works of military history.
