See what reviewers say:

"The War Illustrated has a massive selection of photographs and illustrations, and so gives a greater pictorial background to events. More issues contain a roll of honour, listing war deaths with photographs of soldiers. Details of medals awarded for bravery or success are also included. Pitched to entertain as well as inform, its coverage is eclectic in range and tone, taking in many one-page incidents and human interest stories. Important battles and regiments that played a pivotal role are described in recurring features. The War Illustrated also boasts a selection of celebrity columnists, including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and H G Wells. The war's progression by land, sea and air is detailed. With articles and photojournalism that take in every aspect of the war, the sheer scope of The War Illustrated makes it an immensely valuable document."
