Publisher's summary

From the author of the best-selling Forgotten Voices of the Great War comes a final look at the last 21 living British veterans of the First World War. These interviews, conducted in 2004, will never be repeated, as the youngest was 106 years old, and most are now gone. These first-person accounts follow the young soldiers from their homes throughout Britain to the raging battles while in the service of the Royal Field Artillery, Black Watch, Royal Navy, and others. These combat experiences should never be forgotten.

Amazing 1st Person Accounts

Engaging 1st person accounts of the last living veterans. No sweeping historical accounts of Jutland or Ypres - just the observations of the ordinary men on the ground and in the ships. The intervening century may have eroded some specifics, but not the humor, the cameraderie, the horror, and fear. Though there are bright spots, the abjectly sad sense of loss and the waste of it all is palpable throughout. These men have a greater sense than others just how much their comrades sacrificed - especially those who never came home. The various voice actors enhance the experience greatly - a real window opens on a bygone era especially as these men describe their pre-war lives. Fascinating! Highly recommend audiobook
