February 23, 1916 - April 26, 1916\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFew publications captured the raw immediacy of the First World War with the visceral power of The Illustrated War News, a serialised pictorial periodical that brought the distant horror and heroism of the Great War directly into the homes of a stunned British public. Each weekly part — complete in itself — presents a remarkable chronicle of the conflict through striking photographic imagery and sharp journalistic reportage, documenting everything from Australians training in the deserts of Egypt to cavalry regiments moving through the towns of France, offering an unparalleled visual record of a world at war.\n\nPublished in multiple parts throughout the 1914–1918 period, this collection stands as a primary historical document of extraordinary significance, illustrating the global reach of the conflict across multiple theatres — the Western Front, the Middle East, and beyond. The periodical's unflinching photographic eye and its ability to synthesise both the military strategy and the human cost of the war give it an enduring resonance that transcends mere reportage; for the historian, the collector, and the curious alike, each part reveals a new and sobering window into one of history's most transformative conflicts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49276113879259,"sku":"2026100009070-SECONDHAND","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5ccca6a3-aa0b-4073-81ca-04638a1362ba.png?v=1789092603","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009070-secondhand-the-illustrated-war-news-81-84-86-90","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
