In the Footsteps of Private Lynch: Retracing the Experiences of a Private Soldier in the Great War - Softcover
Retracing the experiences of a private in the Great War — the follow-up to the bestselling First World War memoir Somme Mud.
With a mighty roar the shell explodes, spouting flame and phosphorous fumes everywhere... A man five ahead of me is sobbing — queer, panting gasping sobs. He bends his head towards his stomach just twice and is still. We've had our baptism of fire, seen our first man killed...
When Will Davies discovered the manuscript for Somme Mud, he knew he had found a lost treasure. Private Lynch's powerful story of his time in the trenches of the Somme has become a classic. In this new book, Will Davies follows in the footsteps of Lynch and his battalion, from their long route marches to lice-ridden billets, into the frontline.
Using an innovative "then and now" approach in words and pictures, the book brings to life the young men who sacrificed their youth over 90 years ago.
