One day in 1965 Brain Lawrence sat down to record his experiences of Service in the Great War. His intention was Ôsolely to present a picture of War as I saw it.Õ
Based extensively on notes made soon after the events, his story is original, fresh and gripping. Brian describes in fine detail the everyday life of a soldier, both in and out of the trenches. He took part in major attacks, the retreat from the great German spring offensive and was hospitalised. His experiences as a soldier helping to occupy defeated Germany and living with a German family, are included.
There are no heroic descriptions or attempts to explain tactics. This book could represent the stories of the many ordinary, but extraordinary, men who volunteered. It truthfully answers the question, ÒWhat was it really like in the War, Grandpa?Ó
BrianÕs book is now published for the first time, fifty years after he wrote the final manuscript and almost one hundred years after the events.
