Good Old Somersets by Brian Gillard
This is a day-by-day chronicle of the Somerset Light Infantry Battalion from August to December 1914, using the official War Diaries together with extracts from personal diaries and correspondence. It covers fighting, movements, trench life and the relaxation of a typical group of regular soldiers who came to be known as 'The Old Contemptibles'.
"The book.. is really quite riveting stuff, and sets a benchmark for similar endeavours ... the pace of the narrative is a delight ... this is certainly a book you should consider adding to your Great War bookshelf. Excellent. Highly Recommended."The Great War Magazine
