The Gambardier: the Experiences of a Battery of Heavy Artillery on
the Western Front During the First World War The First World War
with the big guns Gambardier is a title-not completely
complimentary-for a heavy or siege artilleryman. It was bestowed
most usually by his comrade (but rival) of the field artillery.
This is the story of a young officer-a Gambardier-from the outbreak
of the Great War to its end on the Western Front. In this
compelling and unusual book, we experience life on campaign, the
tension and danger of Observation Posts (O. Ps), the brutality of
counter barrages from the enemy-the German artillery, and the
humour and incident of life amongst a small group of men thrown
together in adversity. The big guns themselves are the real
characters of this book, and the author provides a fascinating and
compelling detail about their various types, their rate of fire,
their ammunition, transportation and maintenance.
