The Battle Of The Ypres- Comines Canal 1940

This book looks in detail at the order of battle of the British and German units engaged and focuses on the four British brigades that fought on the canal. With 150 pages and over 150 colour and black and white photos.

Known in some accounts as the Battle of Wijtschaete, the confrontation along the Ypres-Comines Canal in 1940 is still hardly remembered in this country and, apart from the battle honours displayed proudly on the colours of the regiments who took part - many no longer in existence, very little has been written about the four days which probably saved the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) from almost complete destruction.
