For perhaps the twentieth time in half an hour the look-out man in the advanced trench raised his head cautiously over the parapet and peered out into the darkness. A drizzling rain made it almost impossible to see beyond a few yards ahead, but then the German trench was not more than fifty yards off and the space between was criss-crossed and interlaced and a-bristle with the tangle of barb-wire defences erected by both sides.

If you want to understand the life of ordinary people in the extraordinary world of the trenches where the "War to End All Wars" was fought this is the best book you cn read. It's a classic eye witness report of all aspects of life in the trenches, brilliantly written, easy to read (except for passages reproducing working class "Henglish" speech. It is a brilliant, brilliant book worth far more than the absolutely no money at all you will be charged for it. Thank you for brining it to us.Product details

This is the best account of the conditions experienced by the men in the lines that I have read.
When I read the last story in this book, I wanted to run out and grab people, somebody, anybody, by the lapels (women by the shoulders, I suppose--carefully) to let them know about this wonderful writer who has long since departed. Let's see... 1915 age 20 at least, plus almost a hundred years yes, he's gone. But you can still at least read that one last story in the collection, and it's free. I am a reader, a something-phile or whatever, so those of you who are like me, I am whistling and giving an "over here" signal of discovery good stories, well written. Mr. Cable's other book is also very good, and also free.
Later added I just found out that Boyd Cable, noted as the author of this book, is a pseudonym for Ernest Andrew Ewart. has 2 books by Ewart, both paperbacks, neither free. I also found a couple of pictures of Mr. Ewart, aka Cable, with a Google pictures search. Gotta be a story there too.
It was written during the war to give the folks at home an idea of what was happening. It is fascinating.
I recommend "Action Front" by the same author as well.
One of the finest books I've read about British soldiers in the trenches. The writer uses official dispatches as a motif to build each chapter upon, which make for interesting reading. Don't miss this one.
If you want to understand the life of ordinary people in the extraordinary world of the trenches where the "War to End All Wars" was fought this is the best book you cn read. It's a classic eye witness report of all aspects of life in the trenches, brilliantly written, easy to read (except for passages reproducing working class "Henglish" speech.
