Each battlefield chapter starts with some pertinent
quotations by participants, has a succinct Summary
of the Battle, Opening Moves and
What Happened sections then a Battlefield
Tour which follows the same tried and
tested formula as the rest of the series of
a timed and measured itinerary with historic
and anecdotal information at each stop. A detailed
Sketch Map showing battle lines
and each stop on the route accompanies every
battle using the same colour code (of
yellow for memorials,
purple
for cemeteries,
blue for museums) as the larger
Holts' Battle Maps.
