About this title

Synopsis

Vivid frontline sketches and verses from the trenches

Experience a wartime diary and verse from the artillery front, where signallers and gunners bear the day-to-day burden of war. This edition compiles personal reflections, practical notes, and rousing poems that capture the grit, humor, and resilience of soldiers under fire, with no gloss and with a human voice at the center.

From hard-won fieldwork to moments of quiet camaraderie, the book blends intimate letters, battlefield detail, and spirited verse. Read about daily routines, the sounds of the gun line, and the quiet courage that keeps a unit going through long nights, cold days, and relentless danger. The selection presents a ground-level view of war, focusing on the daily life of signallers and those around them, without stepping away from the realities of combat.

• New perspectives on life at the wire, in dugouts, and during long shifts under shellfire.


• Vivid scenes of morale, duty, and the bonds between soldiers in the heat of battle.


• Poems and prose that illuminate courage, exhaustion, and hope.


• A historical snapshot of a specific war-era experience, with practical details of daily logistics and communication lines.

Ideal for readers of World War I histories, frontline memoirs, and poetry born from war, offering a clear, human window into the lives of those who kept the lines open and the guns firing.
