Pillboxes on the Western Front: Guide to the Design, Construction and Use of Concrete Pillboxes, 1914-18 - Hardcover
Synopsis
Investigating the logistical and political problems of supplying and manufacturing large structures using immense quantities of labour and materials, this is a study of the development and use of shell-proof protection for both sides in World War I. It explains how both adversaries in the conflict designed and developed patterns and fast-track systems, and goes on to describe how these were used in defence schemes to provide administrative and command centres, aid stations and artillery observation posts, as well as machine-gun posts. The book includes a gazetteer listing the remaining pillboxes and bunkers in Belgium and northern France, and many of the entries include historical details and information on their use in specific battles.

Review
"...comprehensive guide to an oft overlooked aspect of warfare...will provide you with all of the information you could possible ever need. Highly recommended."--Military Modelcraft International
About the Author
Peter Oldham has a special interest in defence strategies and tactics of the First World War, ranging from the grand planning and organization of defence schemes to the parts played by the sapper who dug the trench and the tommy who has to man it. Having studied the evolution and changing theories of fixed and elastic systems, he then researched the part played by permanent fortifications and shell-proof protection for troops and services. His understanding of the problems of the supply and use of building and concreting materials is unrivalled. As a concrete technologist, he has spent twenty-five years testing and producing concrete materials and structures.
