A detailed account of military life in the First World War, the author has certainly done his research and gives the reader a real insight to the workings of the army, having gone through army records of the time, to see exactly what a soldiers day to day life would have been like. Fascinating reading.
The popular view of the First World War remains that of 'Blackadder': incompetent generals sending brave soldiers to their deaths. Alan Clark quoted a German general's remark that the British soldiers were 'lions led by donkeys'. But he made it up.
