What book would you folk recommend I read if I want to find out more about the battles around Ypres in 1915?

My relative was in the 3rd Monmouthshires and died on the 8th May 1915.

Thank you.

"Magnificent but not war" by John Dixon covers the Monmouths actions very well.

Welcome to Flanders Fields by Daniel Dancocks is a great book and gives an exhaustive blow by blow of 2nd Ypres. It was written by a Canadian primarily about Canadians in that battle but he covers the other bases reasonably well too. Might give you some good info.
