This section contains details of actions, battles and offensives fought during World War One on all fronts.
These include landmark battles fought at Tannenberg (on the east), Aisne, Verdun and the Somme (on the west), along the Isonzo (Italy) and at Jutland (at sea).
The sidebar to the right allows you to view actions by theatre; currently you can choose to sort battles fought on the Eastern, Western, Gallipoli, Italian, Palestine and Mesopotamian fronts; plus the African Wars and encounters fought at sea.
Additional entries are added periodically.
