    Meant to post this yesterday. Hope there's more on UK sites I can actually get to.
    "Over a century has passed since the end of World War I, but physical reminders of 'the war to end all wars' remain today.
    These reminders are explored in Abandoned Places of WW1, a fascinating new book by conflict archaeologist and historian Neil Faulkner.
    Featuring more than 180 poignant images of the deserted detritus of war, the book documents bunkers, trench systems, tunnels, fortifications and gun emplacements, guiding the reader from North America to Australia via the UK.
    In the introduction to the book, Faulkner writes: 'The struggle ranged from the mud-mires of Flanders to the forests of the Argonne, from the Polish swamps to the Carpathian passes, from the mountains along the Isonzo River to the slopes of Gallipoli, to the deserts of Iraq."
