The Fallen by John Garfield

The ninety years since the Armistice have undoubtedly proved that the cemeteries of the First World War have admirably fulfilled their tragic and sombre purpose. The task which faced the Imperial War Graves Commission at the end of the war was formidable indeed. The results of its hard work, to restore the resting places of the dead of the ‘war to end all wars’, can be seen in this outstanding book. In The Fallen John Garfield captures the poignancy of those cemeteries in Flanders, Marne, Aisne, Artois, Ypres Salient, Gallipoli, Verdun, The Somme, Italy and Macedonia with exceptional photographs. Each is complemented with a short description of who was fighting whom and the place and date of each encounter.
John Garfield read Medicine at Cambridge and St Mary's, London and his interest in photography developed as a student. Exhibitions of his War Grave photographs have been held in London, Winchester, Southampton and Brussels.
