This excellent book by A.P. Herbert has been republished with an introduction by Malcolm Brown. It is largely based on the experience of Sub-Lt Edwin Dyett, one of three officers to be executed in WW1, and the subject of a personal study when I followed his footsteps. It’s a forthright read. Published originally in 1919, it was probably too close to the end of the war to become popular at the time.

You can now get a brand new copy. Click on the book cover for a link.

A page on Edwin Dyett will very shortly be under construction.

Just discovered this website with many excellent timelines. Click on the picture below to follow a link to a WW1 timeline.

I’ve just started a book page where I will eventually list the books I really like. Most of these with be concentrated on The Somme. It will take sometime to fill up – at the moment there’s only one there! Bear with me.

I just discovered this site with some excellent colour photographs. Well worth a look. Click on the picture to follow the link.

Today I have added two sub pages about Malcolm – Gallipoli (Suvla Bay Hill 60) and While Memory Lasts . . . The former will take a little time to complete because I have a fair amount of detail from that time.
