The book covers the German Army in Flanders during 1915. In its broad compass it looks at the battles with the French, Belgians and British, concentrating mostly on the latter. 1915 was a very active year for both the Central Powers and the Allies. After a quiet start with minor fighting April saw gas attacks against Hill 60, followed by 2nd Ypres and intermittent attacks throughout the remainder of the year. There was also considerable naval and air activity through the year. It includes notes on the divisions that fought there and a chronological order of events as they unfolded. Where relevant, material from the German home front is included.
