''The Hell They Called High Wood" and "Bazentin Ridge&

[David_Blanchard]

Apart from the two books in the title of this post, are there any other books which deal with the night attack of 14 July on the Somme, that are recommended?

I think an officer with the 100 Brigade MGC wtote of his experiences. Cannot look him up until I get home from work.

There is also. 100 Bde MGC war history written by the same officer.

As I am writing this the name Hutchings springs to mind

David, does the second title refer to the Battleground Europe series that covers this attack?

Robert

[David_Blanchard]

Yes, it is the same book in the BE series.

I think the author is Col Seton Hutchison who was in the MGC

"Of those we loved" by I L Dick Read gives a first hand account of his experience at Bazentin Ridge with the 110th Brigade ( 6th , 7th, 8th , 9th battns Leic Reg )

"The Tigers " by Matthew Richardson also covers the same action

[David_Blanchard]

I have both books, but I overlooked the role of the Leicestershire Brigade in the battle.

Thanks for the recommendation,

David
