Rediscovered after 80 years gathering dust on a family bookshelf
and first brought to public attention on BBC Radio 4's Today
Programme, A VERY UNIMPORTANT OFFICER is a detailed and intimate
account of the experience of Captain Stewart, an ordinary officer
in the front line in France and Flanders throughout 1916 and 1917.
Recruited to The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) in 1915 at the age
of 33, Captain Stewart went 'over the top' many times, outliving
'so many better men', as he says with typical humility. Through his
vivid testimony we learn of the mud ('more like thick slime'), the
flies and the difficulties of suffering dysentry while on
horseback. In one memorable passage he describes engaging the enemy
while smoking a pipe - an episode for which he was awarded the
Military Cross. Yet through the chaos and horror of the trenches,
Captain Stewart reflects with compassion on the fears and immense
courage of the men under his command. Newly edited by his grandson,
Cameron Stewart, A VERY UNIMPORTANT OFFICER gives us a fascinating
insight into the horrors and absurdities of trench life.
