It was very interesting to compare this look at the typical experiences of a British ward orderly in World War I to more recent war and medical narratives by U.S. soldiers, some of whom are in psychological and medical services. In some ways, despite his greater formality, I have a better sense of Muir's daily life and concerns than I do of some more contemporary authors. Muir's tone is conversational but precise, and very engaging. Had he written anything else, I would seek it out.
