My books
In March 2011 my first book was published by Pen & Sword Military. “The Battle for Flanders: German defeat on the Lys, April 1918” is the first comprehensive study of the battle since the British Official History and draws upon much archival material as well as my own soldier research and personal knowledge of the area. This title sold out and is now only available in the used market: Abebooks and eBay may be your best bets.
My second book “The truce: the day the war stopped” was published by Amberley in 2014. It is on the events in France in December 1914, not so much on the detail of the Christmas truce but on the little known British and Indian offensive that took place just before it.
April 2018 saw the publication of my two books for the “Battleground Europe” series. Both on the Battle of the Lys of April 1918, they are titled “Lys North: Objective Ypres” and “Lys South: Objective Hazebrouck“.
My latest title came out in September 2021. Also for the “Battlegroup Europe” series it is called “From the Channel to the Ypres Salient: The Belgian Sector 1914 -1918“.
