""In these pages I give to the public, for what they are worth, my
own personal impressions of the people and things I saw and with
whom I came into contact. I hope I have revealed the late Colonel
Best-Dunkley to the public just as he was-as he appeared to me and
as he appeared to others. I believe that in this I am doing right.
I am fully aware of the many imperfections of this book; but if it
succeeds at all in vividly recalling to those who were in the Ypres
Salient in 1917 the atmosphere of that time, and if it should
encourage others to risk a similar venture, I shall feel amply
rewarded."" This book is part of the World War One Centenary
series; creating, collating and reprinting new and old works of
poetry, fiction, autobiography and analysis. The series forms a
commemorative tribute to mark the passing of one of the world's
bloodiest wars, offering new perspectives on this tragic yet
fascinating period of human history. Each publication also includes
brand new introductory essays and a timeline to help the reader
place the work in its historical context.
We want narratives by obscure persons: we want to know and
appreciate everybody's outlook upon public events whether that
outlook be orthodox or unorthodox conventional or unconventional.
Only thus can we see the recent war in all its aspects.' (From
Original Foreward)
