Description

This is the story of my grandfather's harrowing experiences during the First World War, leading to his eventual capture and mistreatment as a prisoner of war. His retelling of his story illustrates well the intense mental and physical hardships these very young men were forced to endure, during battle and then at hands of the enemy in the prison camp. I believed there were only a very few copies of his book still in existence. I a very happy to see my grandfather's book surviving a century later, and still relevant in regards to the horrors of war.
