""In the following chapters I have merely aimed at setting down, in
simple language, a record of my impressions, so far as I can recall
them, of what I have seen of many and varied phases of the Great
Drama which has now been played to a finish on the other side of
the English Channel. Most of those recollections were penned at odd
moments, soon after the events chronicled, when they were still
fresh in mind, often within range of the guns. It was my good
fortune for two years to be one of the Official War Office
Kinematographers. I was privileged to move about on the Western
Front with considerable freedom. My actions were largely
untrammelled; I had my instructions to carry out; my superiors to
satisfy; my work to do; and I endeavoured to do all that has been
required of me to the best of my ability, never thinking of the
cost, or consequences, to myself of an adventure so long as I
secured a pictorial record of the deeds of our heroic Army in
France."" This book is part of the World War One Centenary series;
creating, collating and reprinting new and old works of poetry,
fiction, autobiography and analysis. The series forms a
commemorative tribute to mark the passing of one of the world's
bloodiest wars, offering new perspectives on this tragic yet
fascinating period of human history. Each publication also includes
brand new introductory essays and a timeline to help the reader
place the work in its historical context.
