In writing this book I have been greatly helped by the generosity of friends who gave their time, expertise and resources to help me. The responsibility for any errors or omissions is mine alone. My thanks go first to Mme Isabelle Remy of the Mmorial de Verdun for maps, books and other resources, and to Mme Claire Ben Lakhdar-Kreuwen, Director and Chief Librarian of the Verdun Library, for permission to consult the plans of Fort Vaux contained there. Mme Isabelle Nourry of the Conseil Gnral de la Meuse allowed me to explore those parts of Fort Vaux normally closed to visitors, where I was accompanied by M. Julien Coquet, expert guide at Fort Vaux, who answered many questions. I am also grateful to Dr Bruno Frmont for showing me around the Chteau Navel, Dugny-sur-Meuse, and to Mme La Brix, who generously lent original photos and shared her memories of veterans of the siege. Burleigh Randolph helped with comments on the first chapters, Marcus Massing, Tom Gudmestad and Barthlemy Vieillot supplied photos from their personal collections, while Jan Carel Broek Roelofs kindly allowed me to use the wonderful photographic archive of the late H.P. von Mller. Last, but absolutely not least, love and thanks go to my daughter Isabella, who accompanied me on early explorations in the thick woods around Fort Vaux, and to my husband Tony Noyes, whose deep understanding of the Battle of Verdun illuminated my research every step of the way.

There are still few English-language guides to the Battle of Verdun. The Michelin Guide, Verdun and the Battles for its Possession , first produced in 1919 and reprinted in 1994 by G.H. Smith & Sons, Easingwold, York, England, is interesting but has little detail. Verdun and the wider area are covered by Major and Mrs Holts guide to The Western Front South, published by Pen & Sword Books, UK, and by A historical tour of Verdun by Jean-Pascal Soudagne and Remi Villagi, published by Editions Ouest-France in three languages. My two previous books, Verdun Fort Douaumont and Walking Verdun , both published by Pen & Sword Books, UK, offer detailed information about the most important fort in the Verdun system and provide a general walkers guide to the battlefield.
Visitors who read French will find much interesting information about Verdun in Premire Guerre Mondiale des Flandres lAlsace , published by Editions Casterman in 1996. Although out of print, it is worth looking for a second-hand copy of this book, as it deals with the political background to the war and the leading personalities as well as covering the fighting on the Western Front as a whole. Relevant German publications include the Militrgeschichtlicher Reisefhrer, Verdun, by Horst Rohde and Robert Ostrovsky (Verlag E.S. Mittler & Sohn, Hamburg, Berlin, Bonn) and Spurensuche bei Verdun: Ein Fhrer ber die Schlachtfelder by Kurt Fischer and Stephan Klink (Bonn, Bernard & Graefe Verlag, 2000).
An excellent recent publication, which contains an extensive section on Verdun and the surrounding area, is Militrgeschichtlicher Reisefhrer zu den Schlachtfeldern des Ersten Weltkrieges: Lothringen und Elsass by Markus Klauer (2009), ISBN 3-9807648-4-2, www.weltkriegesbuch.de
