Stormont Gibbs, the author, a second lieutenant when his service began in 1916 was fresh from public school and all the young man's shenanigans that go with that. Thrown into battle at one of Britain's toughest and mismanaged battles, the Somme. His assessment, in the form of direct diary entries are both incredibly insightful for such a young and unbloodied soldier, and aided and updated by Richard Devonald-Lewis' analysis of the greater situation provide us with an astoundingly 'living' testimony to life on the front in WW2.
