In our latest round-up of Questions and Answers we look at Memorials to non-white soldiers on the Western Front, whether 'battle bars' were ever planned for WW1 British and Commonwealth campaign medals, the award of the 'Blue Max' to German soldiers, and were ordinary soldiers told about the explosion of huge mines like the one under Hawthorn Ridge on the Somme.

Reading List:

Kevin Brazier - The Complete Blue Max: A Chronological Record of the Holders of the Pour le Mérite

Erwin Rommel - Infantry Attacks

Ernest Jünger - Storm of Steel

Christina Holstein - Walking Verdun
