The Illustrated War News Volume 2 September 1914 Upon the outbreak of the first World War the magazine "Illustrated London News" began to publish illustrated reports related entirely to the war and entitled it "The Illustrated War News". This weekly magazine was reputed to have the largest number of Artist-correspondents reporting on the progress of the war. This volume covers the second month of the war and gives a fascinating insight into the methods of warfare employed. Photographs and sketches are shown along with details of the commanding officers and articles by the military thinkers of the day.
