Questo autore si distingue per essere stato il primo soldato britannico durante la Prima Guerra Mondiale a pubblicare le sue memorie di guerra mentre il conflitto infuriava ancora. Scritto durante la convalescenza dopo essere stato ferito, il suo racconto offre una prospettiva cruda e immediata sulla vita al fronte durante otto mesi con un battaglione gallese. L'opera spicca per la sua autenticità, fornendo una visione unica dell'esperienza bellica dall'occhio del soldato. La sua testimonianza è un prezioso documento storico e letterario che cattura gli orrori e le realtà della linea del fronte.

This anthology of First World War poetry consists of the works of a wide range of poets, many of whom were killed in the war. Accompanying each poem is a contemporary photograph, taken in such areas as the forward trenches, behind the lines and in the base camps. The anthology is arranged chronologically, beginning with the patriotic, jingoistic fervour of 1914, and then gradually charting the move to a more realistic mood, culminating in the disillusion, resignation and anger felt so strongly by the men at the front. The poets included range from A.E.Housman and Thomas Hardy, whose writing influenced the soldier poets, to those who actually fought at the front, such as Brooke, Sassoon and Owen. There are some unexpected contributions from those who volunteered, but did not see active service, such as Laurence Binyon and W.W.Gibson, and Rudyard Kipling, who had written about soldiers long before the War, and whose only son was killed in action.
