Excellent & rare complete set (many volumes are very rare & the final two, 1918 Parts IV & V, published after WW2 when interest had moved away from the Western Front of 1914-1918, are exceptionally difficult to obtain). Cornerstone work covering all phases in detail & an essential core of research for any serious understanding of the conduct & course of Western Front operations. David French's invaluable discourse (contained in 'The First World War & British Military History') on the circumstances & methods of its compilation, pointing out its strengths & defects, is an essential companion. Nice set of original editions in original cloth bindings, but note several of the scarcest volumes are in less than VG condition, viz: 1917 Part II rather rubbed & worn ex-lib copy; 1917 Part III ex-univ. lib & neatly rebacked; 1918 Part IV rather rubbed & worn, else generally VG.
