I am an now an eighty old man who grew up listening to my English father’s stories of his active service from 1914 to the 1918 Amiens offensive.
I am truly grateful that this book has given me a deeper understanding of the war he and his “Salford pals“ served in as they suffered 300% casualties.
It was a great read full of human interest while covering everything from grand strategy to the battlefield experiences of soldiers from both sides
Most of all I can now place my father’s experiences in their historic context,
Thank you Michael
