Media Reviews
Very few men are still alive who fought in the trenches in the First World War. The words of the soldiers, however, are as fresh as if they were written yesterday...extraordinary. --Deborrah Moggach, The (London) Mail on Sunday
These stories are so harrowing, and their witness so precise and devastating. --Andrew Motion, The Times (London)
This book really shows what it was like for us on the Western Front. It is remarkable. It really captures our voices, our spirit, and our memories. --Albert Smiler Marshall, Essex Yeomanry & Machine Gun Corps, 1915-1918
Gripping and poignant. -- Daily Mail (London)
A compelling account of a world not to be forgotten. -- Despatches
The testimonies are vivid and many are compelling. They are gruesome and dark in places, with no holds barred when it comes to describing wounds and horrors at the front ... everyone who loves oral history will enjoy the often harrowing accounts contained in this book. -- H
