There are many books documenting the First World War. This book details the progress of a single battalion of the Royal Welch Fuseliers. And what a progress.....
If you ever wondered what your great grandad got up to between 1914 to 1918 this book is as good as it gets. The retreat from Mons, the battle of 1915, the action on the Somme in '16 followed by 3rd Ypres in '17. Then into 1918 - the retreat then the big push to November.
The book is written by one of the "old school". His feelings towards the New Army in 1916 are barely disguised. It follows the Battalion from mobilization in 1914 through to 1919 - almost on a day by day basis.
If you want a feel for what a batallion did on a daily basis througout the war this is the book for you.

Best Book about WWI trench life
26 Dec 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I first read this book in 1991 and passed it amongst so many friends it got lost, so had to re-purchase it. Finely edited compilation that tells the story of the Royal Welch Fusiliers in WWI. BEST description of trench life and warfare I have ever read. Also details the dreariness of garrison duty, unit rotations, etc. If you are a student of WWI, you will most likely find this book is extensively used as reference source and quoted often in so many other WWI books
