December 15, 1915 - February 16, 1916. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA remarkable window into the chaos and heroism of the First World War, The Illustrated War News is a serialised pictorial publication that brought the realities of the Great War directly into the homes of the British public, part by part, as the conflict unfolded between 1914 and 1918. Each numbered issue presents a vivid, photographic chronicle of the war's progress — from the muddy trenches of the Western Front to the earliest military aircraft taking flight — combining striking black-and-white photography with detailed reportage that documented soldiers, commanders, and the machinery of modern warfare in unprecedented detail.\n\nAs a primary historical document, this collection stands as an invaluable artefact of wartime journalism and propaganda, illustrating how the press shaped public perception of a global conflict on a scale never before seen. The photographs — including poignant frontline portraits and images of early biplanes — carry a raw, unmediated power that no retrospective account can replicate. This rare, multi-part set, spanning issues in the seventies and eighties of its run, offers historians, collectors, and enthusiasts an extraordinary firsthand record of one of humanity's most defining moments — leaving the reader to wonder what truths lie within the pages not yet turned.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49276116205787,"sku":"2026100009073-SECONDHAND","price":100.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/50445d02-bdcf-40c2-9047-6048cbc02f2c.png?v=1789092611","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009073-secondhand-the-illustrated-war-news-71-80","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
