One of the best books on the Great War you can buy. Profoundly moving, particularly towards the end when the soldiers returned home and the sections on the cemeteries. Even more so now as more years have passed and more old soldiers have passed on.

I cannot believe the French reader's comments! This has to be one of the definative books about WW1 soldiers, particularly those in the frontline. It also happens to be written in a sensitive and understated style which suited me perfectly. Highly recommended.

I first read this book about 4 years ago and sobbed my way through the final accounts written by men who had fought at the front. It's not all doom and gloom! It is a funny, truthful and sometimes painful account written by the men who served at the front. It isn't untill you read a book like this that you can truely appreciate what was going on not only on the front, but the reception these veterans recieved upon their return to Britain. I would love to see this book on the curiculem list for every senior school for maybe then everyone one would remember just how much we owe to our "brave and valient boys".

This book is special. It somehow goes beyond other personal accounts, which are undeniably good, and brings the reader much closer to the experience of the war. Read more

Heavy going
Overall I feel a decent attempt to tell the story of Kitcheners Army. However despite a strong interest in this area, I found the book difficult to read, as it does not flow easily... Read more
