Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Attack
by Edward G. D. Liveing
One Young Man
by John Ernest Hodder-Williams
Two immediate accounts of the Battle of the Somme
The attack on the fortified village of Gommecourt took place on
July 1st 1916 and was an essential component of the first great
allied attack of the Battle of the Somme. This is not a book of
great strategy, but of the very personal experience of war as lived
by ordinary men. Here two accounts have been brought together, both
for the sake of value and by virtue of their comparatively short
lengths, because they may have not been published independently.
The first account is by the commander of No.5 Platoon of a
battalion of the County of London Regiment. It takes the reader
through the preparations for and the actual undertaking and
aftermath of the attack in graphic detail. The work is an
invaluable detailed record of a platoon action on the Somme, but
also one of the most riveting pieces of Western Front infantry
action first hand experience available. The second piece-written in
the form of letters-reveals the march to war of an ordinary young
man until he became a veteran infantryman. The action centres once
again on the Somme in the Gommecourt sector.
This book tells the tragic true story of the fate of Scott of the
Antarctic and his companions on the return trip from the South
Pole.It was written anonymously by Sir John Ernest Hodder-Williams,
for Scott's son Peter, with the object at the time of raising funds
for the child following his father's death.This facsimile has been
created from an original 1913 edition, a now scarce work first
published in the year of Scott's death during the Terra Nova
expedition of 1910-1913.
