Peter Chasseaud

This ground-breaking book by Peter Chasseaud the distinguished historian of the First World War, is the first-ever study of trench names of the Western Front and also provides a gazetteer of over 10,000 trench names, complete with map references. Looked at from the point of view of the contemporary military givers and users of the names, and from a modern cultural-studies angle, the names reveal the full horror of trench warfare as well as throwing an extraordinary sidelight on the cultural life of the period and the landscape and battles of the Western Front.
