This is the story of one man but reflects the story of thousands like him who set of on the adventure of the great war. there are no frills to this just a matter of fact telling tied in with the usual stiff upper lip and patriotic fervour that is prevelant in the writing of the times. A very interesting read that gives you a personal insight into life in the trenches from the point of view of the volunteer which is informative in so many ways more than those written by the officers of the time.For people who enjoy history, I am one such person, this is what it is all about.
