Using letters, diaries, and first-hand accounts together with
original photographs, here is the real story of Scotland's soldiers
in World War I. Scotland's response to the Great War has, up until
now, largely been marginalized or ignored. With a proportionally
higher number of volunteers than any other home nation, Scotland's
youth played a significant part in Britain's war effort. Here is
the first study of Scotland's response to the call to arms; the
true story behind the raising, the training, life in the trenches,
and the sacrifices faced by those battalions raised in Scotland.
This book focuses on the experiences of those who served in the
Scottish divisions. Charting the course of emotions from initial
enthusiasm in August 1914 through to outright disillusionment with
the continuation of the war in 1917, the author clearly shows how
life at the front line produced both physical and emotional changes
in those caught up in the horrors of trench warfare.
