Condition: New. 2004 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1917). HB. 185pp This is much more than a run-of-the mill account of an officerâs life in the trenches of the Great War. The author of these sketches, Major âWillieâ Redmond, (1861-1917) was a well-known moderate Irish nationalist politician, the brother of John Redmond, leader of the Irish party at Westminster before and during the war. âWillieâ Redmond was himself a nationalist MP, but at the outbreak of the war, although well over military age, he took the view that the war was a fight for all small oppressed nations, and that Irishmen should not stand apart from the struggle. The deaths of women and children in German Zeppelin raids seems to have been the final spur that impelled him to don a British uniform. In his own words âIf the Germans come here .they will be our masters, and we at their mercy. What that mercy is likely to be, judge by the mercy shown to Belgiumâ. Redmond helped found the Irish Division and arrived at the front in the winter of 1915. He saw service on the Somme. He continued to speaks in debates in the Commons while serving at the front. One of his favourite themes - and the subject of a chapter in this book - was the brotherhood forged in the trenches between the politcally divided Protestants of Northern ireland and his fellow Catholics from the south. Ironically, it was Protestant stretcher-bearers who brought the severely wounded Redmond in from the battlefield of Messines to the dressing station where he died of his wounds in June 1917 at the opening of the successful British offensive. Much mourned by Irish people of all political and religious beliefs, Redmond left a legacy of political tolerance and self-sacrifice. These sketches, first published in the âDaily Chronicleâ, cover such subjects as religion in the trenches, the capture of Ginchy on the Somme, No-Manâd Land and pets in the trenches. It is illustrated by photographs of the author in uniform and as a young politician. Will interest not only those keen on Great War literature, but also all students of Irish history.
