Two months after being posted to France in 1917, Edward Thomas
wrote: 'I already know enough to confirm my old opinion that the
papers tell no truth at all about what war is and what soldiers are
- '. This anthology provides an impression of what it meant to be a
soldier on the Western front in the First World War and, above all,
what it meant to be a Welsh soldier. Although this collection of
writings, prose and poetry, includes such famous names as Edward
Thomas, Robert Graves, David Jones and Saunders Lewis, the pieces
have been chosen not purely by literary criteria, but to reflect as
wide a range as possible of experience within Welsh military units.
These personal reminiscences record not just horrific and dramatic
events, soldiers under artillery bombardment or coping with mud, or
the confusion of attacks or retreats, but also routine activities -
the everyday working parties to repair trenches, the tunnelling,
the waiting, the food, the blisters and the cold - and the
comradeship in the Welsh regiments. Some additional background
military information is provided in the appendices.
