The Somme also including The Coward by Arthur Donald Gristwood
Unflinching descriptions of life in the trenches and the horrors of battle in WWI characterise these two dark novellas, written under the tutelage of H. G Wells.
Together, these works offer a vivid, immersive view of the First World War and the suffering it inflicted on the men who fought it* Books Monthly *
