Description: Albert John (Jack) Martin was thirty two years old when he was called up to serve in the army in September 1916. These diaries, written in secret and hidden from colleagues, present the Great War with heartbreaking clarity, in a voice compelling and distinctive, from the point of view of the ordinary Tommy.
