Launched in April 1912, the Vest Pocket Kodak was one of the
world's first compact cameras. About the height and width of
today's iPhone, it was small enough to fit into the pocket of a
waistcoat (the American Vest) and allowed the soldiers to record
their experiences of the trenches. The images they preserved offer
us a remarkably personal viewpoint, and create a fascinating link
between the camera and the conflict. The first half of the book
sets the technology and timeline of the camera against those of the
war. The second half presents a commemorative album of images taken
with the camera, a remarkable record of a lost generation, and a
tragic reflection of the manufacturer's advertising by-line: Kodak
pictures never let you forget.
