The Battleground Europe series of guides is designed for both the battlefield visitor and the armchair traveller. There is extensive guidance on how to make the most of your battlefield visit. The historical significance of each site is described in detail with the aid of maps and photographs.

The village of Bullecourt, France was incorporated into the formidable Hindenburg Line when the Germans carried out their strategic withdrawal in February 1917. Attacked unsuccessfully as part of the Battle of Arras on 11th April 1917, it was finally captured in May after a second major assault. 

The book details the actions of the Australians but also includes the contributions made by the 7th, 58th and 62nd British Divisions.
