As Fenella Wilson points out in her Introduction to this collection
of Neil Munro's writings on war, the theme is represented in each
aspect of his career as a writer - in his fiction, journalism and
poetry. A number of the short stories here, including two Para
Handy tales, were published Munro's lifetime, as was his
introduction to Fred Farrell's 1920 The 51st Division War Sketches,
and some of the Poems. What has not previously 'seen the light of
day' since The Great War are the reports which Munro wrote as a war
correspondent, as a civilian and later in uniform, in 1914, 1917
and 1918. They are vivid, personal, accounts from the Western
Front, widely published in a range of newspapers of the time.
Stories of Scottish regiments - in kilts, with their Pipers -
abound. They cushion, but don't diminish, the reality of everyday
life both for soldiers on all sides in the conflict, and for the
local population, amid the 'havoc' of the battlefields; 'the filthy
job of human slaughter'.
