The British Soldier His Courage and Humour (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt: I did not need a war of nations to learn about the courage and humour of the British soldier. As a book I wrote called Mr. Thomas Atkins shows, I had studied and appreciated him during the thirty-one years in which I served as Chaplain to the Forces. Still, it was pleasant to read despatches and letters from the seat of war highly praising my old friend. This book is based upon the strong, clear letters of Mr. Thomas Atkins (I am never guilty of the impertinence of calling him Tommy) which were written amidst the stress and strain of war, often even in the pauses of battle. I have done little more than select and classify the letters of that best of war correspondents?the British soldier. The letters are a credit to his head and his heart, and throw a searchlight on the war. The soldier wrote of the things he knew about, and the result is that we can see his pen pictures.
