The front-line soldiers of the First World War endured appalling
conditions in the trenches and suffered unprecedented slaughter in
battle. Their morale, as much as the strategy of their commanders,
played the crucial part in determining the outcome of `the war to
end all wars'. J. G. Fuller examines the experience of the soldiers
of the British and Dominion armies. How did the troops regard their
plight? What did they think they were fighting for? Dr Fuller draws
on a variety of contemporary sources, including over a hundred
magazines produced by the soldiers themselves. This is the first
scholarly analysis of the trench journalism which played an
important role in the lives of the ordinary soldiers. Other themes
explored include the nature of patriotism, discipline, living
conditions, and leisure activities such as sport, concert parties,
and the music hall. Dr Fuller's vivid and detailed study throws new
light on the question of warfare, and in particular how the British
and Dominion armies differed from those of their allies and
opponents, which were wracked by mutiny or defeat as the war went
on.
