The Great War books

Does anyone have a set of these? The "Great War" edited by H.W. Wilson. The complete set is 13 volumes.

I'm lucky enough to have all 13 volumes. Dad was stationed in England in the 60's, where he bought these, and they came to me about 25 years ago.

They are a collection of photos and stories compiled during World War I. If I remember correctly, there was a weekly news magazine that ran these stories of the battles, etc., and later compiled into these books. This would be an author's dream come true if he was writing books about WWI.
There are TONS of photos on them! I haven't gone through them lately but I'm sure you can find a pic or two of Luger's. Probably ones taken from dead Germans seeing how this was a British publication.

Now I'm going to have to start looking for photos. LOL!!
