Donald Fraser, lived and fought in the hideous conditions of mud, death, rats, filth, and fire that characterized the Great War. His experiences of trench life were meticulously recorded, bringing to life a soldier’s story. What he inadvertently created was a classic account of the First World War, so rich in detail and so vivid the reader can almost smell the cordite and feel the oozing mud.
