Designed to preserve the memory of the "Immortal Salient," the book meticulously identifies the villages, woods, and ridges that became household names during the conflict. It provides historical context for each location, explaining the strategic importance of the ground and the regimental actions that occurred there. By blending tactical history with a commemorative spirit, Brice's work captures the magnitude of the conflict and the profound transformation of the Belgian landscape.
