[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars This is a haunting look into the reality that was World War 1. This is a beautiful collection of memories that will stay with you long after you finish the book.
NetGalley, Teresa Waldow

The book is well structured with chapters covering each year of the war sub-divided into Home Front and Military sections with many photographs, many of which are new to this reviewer. The scope of the effort of the Scouts is quite remarkable and the author does a good job in covering innumerable factors. This comprehensive history is to be welcomed and is a worthwhile addition to the shelves of those who have an interest in the Great War and social historiography of the time.
Martin Willoughby, Chairman of the Wessex Branch of the Western Front Association
