A poignant account of life at the Front during the Great War, vividly relived by the author.
Reflecting on his time as a teenager he related, 'I was very young to be in command of a company at Passchendaele
and, looking back, I realise that we were all so very young'.
The extraordinary mindset of those involved can be encompassed by a recollection:
~ the Canadian captain, who handed the sector over to me, had said, "Don't you
lose this position, it caused us very heavy losses to capture it." "Never fear," I
replied, "we've been in Flanders and France since March 1915 and have never lost
a trench." He glanced at my single star of rank. "Yes," I said "and where we've
come from the Germans killed all our captains." We grinned at each other and
shook hands. Then he was gone, to 'where they kill captains'
