| Summary | "Ypres to Verdun" by Alexander B. W. Kennedy is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a collection of photographs taken by the author during the aftermath of World War I, particularly focusing on the devastated war areas of France and Flanders. The book aims to provide a vivid depiction of the destruction wrought by years of conflict, offering both soldiers and civilians a chance to visualize the places they had heard about but could not imagine. The opening of this account sets the scene through the author's first-hand experiences at the Front in October 1918 when he witnessed the devastating effects of war in the landscape. Kennedy describes the ruins of towns and villages, using personal anecdotes to illustrate the scale of devastation. He reflects on his determination to document the war's aftermath through photography, inspired by the drastic changes he observed, and the stories of courage and suffering from both military and civilian perspectives. Through his reflections, readers are invited to understand not only the physical destruction but also the deep emotional impacts of the war on those who lived through it.
