Militaria 1915

The Great Offensives

From: The Great Class War 1914-1918

$1.20

trench warfare the defenders, equipped with modern weapons such as machine

guns, enjoy the advantage. On the battlefields of Neuve-Chapelle, Loos, Notre-

Dame-de-Lorette, and elsewhere in Artois and Champagne, the attacking poilus

and Tommies thus perish by the hundreds of thousands, but the Germans too

suffer huge losses . . .
