He served in the trenches and in the battalion Transport Section. This is a classic among memoirs of an other rank, one to be counted with 'Old Soldiers Never Die' and 'There's a Devil in the Drum'. The author saw action at Second Ypres (gas attack), Gommecourt, the Somme, Arras, Third Ypres, Cambral, in the German 1918 offensive and in the final advance. He was awarded the MM in August 1917 and a bar in November 1918. An enthralling picture of life in an infantry battalion on the Western Front.
