1914 to 1918: A Time to Remember (Paperback or Softback)

In 1915 the Army dispatched Osmond to serve on the Western Front from the fields of England’s East Riding of Yorkshire. A farm wagoner at home, he drives horse-pulled wagons in France.

Assigned to a divisional train, he carries supplies to soldiers in the trenches. After injury and treatment in London, he returns to France, where he hauls heavy weapons for the Royal Field Artillery.

Readers of 1914 to 1918: A Time to Remember will learn about Word War 1 and bear witness as Osmond grapples with more than just combat: there are personal adventures, interactions with French citizens, observations of the war, friends court-martialed or lost, the Spanish flu, and his ambitions to own a farm and find a wife. Throughout, he exhibits no desire to harm anyone.

John R. Cammidge was born in York, England and became familiar with the East Riding of Yorkshire in his early years. A successful human resources career took him, first, to Ford in Dagenham, England, and then to California with Bank of America, Stanford University, and in the system-wide office at the University of California. Ever since he was a young child, he has been a dedicated birdwatcher. His activities include a bird blog on his author's website at johnrcammidge.com. 1914 to 1918: A Time to Remember is John's fourth book.
