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.

Other Ranks is a First World War classic, first published in 1931
but quickly lost in the wave of war memoirs and novels. It is the
fictionalised account of William Tilsley's war experiences through
the eyes of ordinary soldier Dick Bradshaw in the 55th West
Lancashire Division. This authentic memoir of life and death on the
front line begins with Bradshaw's "C" Company leaving the depot at
Etaples and heading for their first engagement at the front on the
Somme in the Autumn of 1916. Over the next fourteen months it
follows the chores behind the line and unwelcome stints on the
front line through to his wounding during the Third battle of Ypres
in 1917 and subsequent return to Blighty. As well as criticism of
the conduct of the war, there is description of the desolation of
the landscape and continual conditions of the trenches as
experienced by the Poor Bloody Infantry (PBI); wet, cold, frost
bite, trench foot, shelling and general life in trenches with
continual risk of collapse. War is not a chivalrous experience and
his narrative does not hold back in his thoughts and feelings
concerning soldiers behind the lines out of the reach of the guns
and those at the top. This new edition follows research by Gaye
Magnall and is accompanied by introductions from relatives of the
three main characters, O'Neill, Magnall and WVT's great nephew,
David Tilsley.
