The Frontline Walk Following in the Footsteps of Those who Fought

This book tells the story of the Frontline Walk, a sponsored walk across the former battlefields of the Western Front supporting the work of 'ABF The Soldiers' Charity'. The charity was established in 1944 and works tirelessly to help all serving soldiers, veterans and their immediate families to avoid hardship and to enjoy independence and dignity. It uncovers the stories behind those who have participated in the walks since 2014, why they took part and how it has helped them discover more about their forebears, many of which served in the First World War on the very terrain the walk covers. It also tells the stories of those who have been affected by conflict and the work that the charity has done to help rebuild their lives. Illustrated throughout and with accompanying maps, this book can be used to uncover the routes taken and explore the stories behind those and the actions of the time with proceeds going towards the ongoing work of the charity.
