Trenches on the Web This extensive collection of materials maintained by Mike Iavarone constitutes a really fine website, loaded with all kinds of information. One can use it as a virtual history of the war.
*An Unfortunate Region* This is a very interesting site, started some time ago by Peter van den Heuvel and Marco Hoveling. It is devoted to the physical area of the Western Front, both from the standpoint of the historical past and from that of the past's physical impact on the present. There is much excellent material about the Western Front, especially some of its lesser known stretches and corners, that is not readily available, perhaps not available at all, elsewhere. The two site owners are excellent web designers, and the site is laden with easily viewed photos, maps, etc.
Art of the First World War A superb collection of paintings, drawings, and etchings by serious artists who witnessed the war, many of them as soldiers. This site reflects an exhibition sponsored by some of the best historical museums in Europe.
