I got this book for Christmas. It is a very good read.
Most interesting for me is the fact that Harry Palin (Michael Palin's great uncle), although he was an ANZAC, was killed during the latter stages of the battle of the Somme, very close to Eaucourt L'Abbaye. In fact he was killed with in a few days and a few hundred yards of my Great Uncle, Reginald Groves. See earlier post.
