A realy good readI felt this book gave a honest look at life in the trenches during ww I .After reding Fragments from France one gets a sense of life at that time.The book is well worth reading.
A sometime humerous book by the author and cartoonest, Bruce Bairnsfather, made famous by his cartoons of O'le Bill, Alf and Bert.
A hunorous biographial book about his experience being wounding, hospital stay and then tour of other allied countries.

This is a memoir of his time in WWI working on the front with his machine gunners.
You can feel both his struggle and his humor on the entire situation.
I recommend reading this as well as reading his collection of drawings, Fragments of France.
