at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - I make no apology for having
followed in this book the same plan as in my other one, "Between
the Lines," of taking extracts from the official despatches as
"texts" and endeavoring to show something of what these brief
messages cover, because so many of my own friends, and so many more
unknown friends amongst the reviewers, expressed themselves so
pleased with the plan that I feel its repetition is justified.
There were some who complained that my last book was in parts too
grim and too terrible, and no doubt the same complaint may lie
against this one. To that I can only reply that I have found it
impossible to write with any truth of the Front without the writing
being grim, and in writing my other book I felt it would be no bad
thing if Home realized the grimness a little better. But now there
are so many at Home whose nearest and dearest are in the trenches,
and who require no telling of the horrors of the war, that I have
tried here to show there is a lighter side to war, to let them know
that we have our relaxations, and even find occasion for jests, in
the course of our business.
