Coward's War by Tim Machin
Private George Coward was a survivor. He was one of the Old Contemptibles sent to France in August 1914. He tells a story written in diaries that he wrote in old school exercise books begining from 1906 and finishing in 1919. This study is not just of one man's Great War, but also of English life before the War, and of disillusionment after it.
"The tale that emerges from these diaries presents Coward as working class west country boy for whom the army meant travel and pay[...] He has a waspish sense of humour as well as his own opinion of the war. Several officers got on the wrong side of his pen, but those that offered real leadership were praised to the hilt."Best of British Magazine
