Description
War Is War by Ex-Private X This memoir is written from the perspective of an ordinary soldier who served with 1/28th London Regiment (Artists Rifles), 190th Brigade, 63rd Division. The author's experiences during World War I are vivid and unflinching, offering a unique insight into life on the front lines. The book describes the battalion's service from early 1917, including its time in the trenches at Passchendaele and the subsequent fighting at Welch Ridge. The author's account is marked by a strong sense of anger and frustration, particularly towards those behind the lines who he felt were not doing enough to support the troops. The memoir ends with the author's own experiences, including his eventual invalidation due to trench feet. This book provides a raw and honest look at life in the trenches during World War I, and is likely to be of interest to anyone looking for a firsthand account of this period.
