The First World War has left an almost indelible mark on history,
with battles such as the Somme and Passchendaele becoming
watchwords for suffering unsurpassed. The dreadful fighting on the
Western Front, and elsewhere in the world, remains vivid in the
public imagination. Over the years dozens of books have been
published dealing with the soldier's experience, the military
history and the weapons and vehicles of the war, but there has been
little devoted to the objects associated with those hard years in
the trenches. This book (new in paperback) redresses that balance.
With hundreds of carefully captioned photographs of items that
would have been part of the everyday life for the British Tommy;
from recruiting posters, uniforms and entrenching equipment to
games, postcards and pieces of 'trench art', this book brings to
life the experience of the Great War soldier through the objects
with which he would have been surrounded.
