When the harrowing Great War diaries of one of Britain's first
black soldiers were unearthed in a dusty Scottish attic nearly 100
years after they were written, they posed a bit of a mystery. The
diary entries - ranging from May 1917 to March 1918 - were written
by one Arthur Roberts while he served initially with the King's Own
Scottish Borderers before being transferred to Royal Scots
Fusiliers in 1917. He details what life was like for him during the
First World War, how he survived the Battle of Passchendaele, and
how he escaped unscathed when a German shell killed a dozen men
round him. Yet Arthur was an otherwise unknown man - what was the
rest of his life like? Now, Morag Miller and Roy Laycock have
painstakingly researched Roberts' life history, filling in the
gaps. From his birth in Bristol, to his life in Glasgow and time at
the front, they provide here much more than just a war memoir. This
is a unique history of one man's remarkable life. Beautifully
illustrated with Roberts' own accomplished photographs and artwork,
As Good As Any Man is the remarkable biography of one of Britain's
black Tommies.
