Part 31, subtitled The Fighting on the Yser, presents a vivid account of the brutal and strategically vital battles fought along the Yser River in Belgium, where Allied forces mounted a desperate defence against the German advance in late 1914. With General Foch — the future Supreme Commander of Allied Forces — prominently featured, this instalment captures a pivotal moment when the fate of the Western Front hung in the balance.\n\nPublished weekly at the modest price of sevenpence, The Times History of the War represents a remarkable feat of contemporary historical documentation, compiled by the editorial staff of one of Britain's most authoritative newspapers. Its prose is authoritative and measured, reflecting the Victorian journalistic tradition of sober, detailed reportage even amid the chaos of modern industrial warfare. Each part serves as both a primary historical source and a compelling narrative, offering modern readers an unfiltered window into how the war was understood — and felt — by those living through it. This rare surviving instalment is a treasure for any serious collector of WWI ephemera and military history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49336805392603,"sku":"2026100008891-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/6e8a45c0-3ba2-4145-822b-151f11d52c68.png?v=1789958102","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008891-secondhand-the-times-history-of-the-war-part-31-vol-3-the-fighting-on-the-yser","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
