"The First World War will always be remembered as the 'Great War'; the war that cost an estimated 10 million lives, caused injury to perhaps twice that number, and left thousands of survivors with memories that would last a lifetime." "This is a unique collection of some of those memories, as told by ten men who fought and survived. Described at first hand are the feelings and experiences of those soldiers who endured the appalling trench warfare, battled against the fiercest of weather conditions, and who witnessed at close quarters the death of countless friends and colleagues. Yet despite the atrocities, or perhaps because of them, the soldiers retained their sense of humour and dignity and these tales are sprinkled with wry anecdotes and told with a rightful sense of pride." "Illustrated with contemporary photographs, here is a collection of memories of a time and event that should not be forgotten. These veterans are all now in their mid- or late nineties and this tribute to them and those who fought with them offers an important permanent record of their stories. This book will appeal to those with an interest in military and social history, as well as to those who are or have been involved with the Army."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
