An American who enlisted in the British army before his own country entered the war describes life on the Western Front: going into the line, trench raids, patrols in no man’s land, rest in billets, feeding the Tommies and the march to Vimy Ridge. He gives as much space to the quieter routines of soldiering as to the fighting.
