Lingo of No Man's Land by Lorenzo N Smith
. It gives a fascinating contemporary insight into life on the front line. What is surprising for the modern reader is the number of words and phrases that Smith felt the need to define which are now considered unremarkable: these include aerial photography, armoured car, bomb, camouflage, concussion and crater. This in itself demonstrates how much contemporary English comes from World War I. Also included are many words that do not appear in any other World War I dictionaries.
Lorenzo N. Smith was a Sergeant with the British-Canadian Recruiting Mission.
