Elwyn Barron gathers eyewitness and personal narratives of courage in the Great War, introduced by Rupert Hughes. American Marines at Belleau Wood and Bouresches, British cavalry charges, airmen duelling over the French lines, nurses, chaplains and private soldiers all tell or are told in short pieces, many of them straight from letters and despatches.
