Just as gripping as The Great Escape , shows where determination can get you . A excellent read from start to finish .
Paul Woodward, Amazon Reviewer

Peter Downham's editing of this book can only be described as first class. He has drawn together good quality maps and has made excellent use of various photographic archives to illustrate the diary. The book is very well referenced and shows just how much can be added to a war diary to enhance the understanding and enjoyment of the reader. This book is a beautifully crafted work and should be part of any Great War Library. It is a book that helps the reader to understand just what the ordinary soldier thought about his lot in the Great War.
