The British soldier of the Great War has been depicted in many
books. Invariably, a pen picture paints him as stoic, joining the
army in a wave of patriotic fervour, and destined to serve four
years on the Western Front in some of the most costly battles in
history. Yet often the picture is difficult to resolve for the
reader. How did the soldier live, where did he sleep? What was it
like to go over the top, and when he did, what did he carry with
him? For many, the idea of trench life is hazy, and usually
involves 'drowning in mud', in, as one writer put it, 'the pitiless
misery' of Passchendaele. Remembering Tommy pays tribute to the
real British soldier of the Great War. In stunning images of
uniforms, equipment and ephemera, it conjures the atmosphere of the
trenches through the belongings of the soldiers themselves -
allowing us almost to reach out and touch history.
