What do war cemeteries and monuments tell us about the way societies remember? This book takes you across Europe, from Flanders Fields and Galicia to Greece, Italy, and the Balkans, to uncover how the First World War's dead were commemorated. It shows how monuments can be read as texts - revealing entanglements of memory, politics, and identity - and how battlefields were transformed into enduring landscapes of remembrance. Drawing on rare archival materials, local case studies, and international perspectives, it offers fresh insights into the shifting meanings of commemoration, and why these memorials still matter in the twenty-first century.
