Although more than a century has passed since the Great War, arguably the definitive conflict in the history of Europe, its legacy remains. Never before or since has such a great swell of popular sentiment produced such a patriotic rush to arms. In the trenches and on the battlefield, British soldiers united with their allies to fight valiantly for the cause.

Providing a vital insight into this pivotal period, historians John Sadler and Rosie Serdiville disclose the poignant and emotive experiences of war, in the front line and behind, from men and women of every class and background. Combining rich anecdote and unique testimony, the stories of those that passed through the ordeal of war reveal remarkable tales of horror and suffering, but also of comradeship, exhilaration and the adventure of the Western Front.
This is the human story of the Great War, told by those who lived through it, and as such is required reading for anyone with an interest in military and social history.
