The Tommy's Scrapbook for WW1
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I recommend this book for the pictures alone. This book is not as good as either Mud, Blood and Poppycock by Gordon Corrigan, or Tommy: The British Soldier on the Western Front 1914-1918 by Richard Holmes. On the other hand, this book used a lot of excerpts from letters, and hundreds of pictures. Quite of bit of the book discusses the "Pals" or "Chums" battalions, this was a British idea of having all of a public schools graduates join the same battalion. This turned out to be a horrible idea, especially when the chums all went over the top together into several machine guns.
