Produktbeschreibung
"All letters are censored. This book contains nothing but the truth, but not the whole truth. When I described things that were actually happening round me, I had to be exceedingly careful-and when, as in the first two or three chapters, my letters were written several weeks after the events, something was sure to crop up in the meantime that unconsciously but definitely altered the memory of experiences.... I have dwelt at length upon little personal matters. It may not interest you to know when I had a pork-chop-though, as you now realise, on active service a pork-chop is extremely important-but it interested my mother. She liked to know whether I was having good and sufficient food, and warm things on my chest and feet, because, after all, there was a time when I wanted nothing else." This book is part of the World War One Centenary series; creating, collating and reprinting new and old works of poetry, fiction, autobiography and analysis. The series forms a commemorative tribute to mark the passing of one of the world's bloodiest wars, offering new perspectives on this tragic yet fascinating period of human history. Each publication also includes brand new introductory essays and a timeline to help the reader place the work in its historical context.

Autorenporträt
W.H.L. Watson, a British Army member, served as a motorbike despatch rider during the tumultuous First World War. His navy tenure witnessed energetic involvement in pivotal battles at some point of 1914 and the initial months of 1915, reflecting his engagement throughout a vital period of war. As a despatch rider, Watson played a full-size position in swiftly transmitting vital messages and records, going through the perils and challenges of wartime service. Tragically, Watson's life met an untimely give up on December 6, 1932. His contributions and studies for the duration of the First World War marked a bankruptcy of tremendous courage and willpower within the face of adversity. Watson become related to Ruth Barbara Wake-Walker, with their partnership spanning from 1916 onward. His mother and father had been recognized as Patrick Watson, contributing to the familial historical past that likely influenced his adolescence and doubtlessly impacted his selections to serve at some stage in the struggle. Despite his highly brief existence, Watson's carrier and bravado as a despatch rider left a long-lasting impact, symbolizing the commitment and sacrifices of people in the face of ancient global battle.
