What Was It Like To Face A Lee-Enfield At Ypres In WWI? | Great War In Numbers | War Stories
Leading in to the First World War, Europe has been transformed. A world of peasant farmers craft workshops and horse drawn carts has turned into a world of factories, mills and railways. Industrialisation has revolutionised production and changed society…and now it’s about to change the nature of war…
A new kind of world and a new kind of war. The Great War In Numbers tells the story of ammunition, guns, ships, aircraft and men that will die in their millions. A war fought by calculating generals for which no cost is too high.
