"1917, the fourth year of the war to end all wars, is documented in archive photographs in this series covering the war in detail. The Easter offensive saw British, Canadian and Australian troops advance upon the German-held Hindenburg Line. In June the Allies' strength was boosted by the first influx of American troops to arrive in France. Tank warfare came into its own at Cambrai, but at the Battle of Ypres the British became bogged down in the Flander's mud."--Provided by publisher.
