From the front lines to the home front, a raw wartime record told in a young soldier’s own words.

This gripping diary offers a vivid, firsthand look at the daily life of Rifleman B. C. Stubbs as he trains, travels to France, and endures the trenches, shellfire, and hardships of 1915. Written with immediacy and humor, the pages capture the mood, camaraderie, and fear of a front-line soldier during one of history’s most brutal wars. The book paints a personal picture of battles near Hill 60 and Ypres, the sound of guns, and the long struggle to stay upright and hopeful amid chaos.

Firsthand account of enlistment, transport to the front, and early days in the trenches.
Vivid scenes from life at sea, in billets, and along the front lines during the spring of 1915.
Daily routines, restlessness, and moments of resolve beneath bombardment and fear.
Personal reflections, letters home, and the toll of war on a young man’s mind and body.

Ideal for readers of World War I memoirs and battlefield journals, this edition brings a soldier’s voice to life in clear, accessible prose.
