From the introduction: On Saturday 8th July 1916, Albert William Andrews narrowly escaped being blown up by a German shell. Unaware of how badly the concussion had affected him, he rejoined his unit andf continued fighting until he was wounded again on 23rd July..... This account was written during his convalescence in 1917, and is based on a diary he carried with him on active service. It reflects his transformation from raw recruit to seasoned 'old un' and he also describes in detail and with a critical eye the hardships of the ordinary soldier in and out of the trenches. Sections include:
The booklet is illustrated throughout with lots of black and white photographs and maps
Condition of the booklet is generally very good. The cover has one or two very minor scuffs but is clean and bright, the staple spine is intact, and all pages are clean, intact, unblemished and tightly bound. Their is an old price printed on the front cover and a small price sticker on the rear side cover
