Na okł. : Private Frank Richards, DCM, MM, fought in every major engagement of the First World War. This is his story.

The author had enlisted in 1901 in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers and was a reservist when the First World War broke out.

He rejoined his old, 2nd Battalion and landed in France with them on 11 August 1914. He went right through the war with the battalion, never missing a battle, winning the D.C.M. and M.M.

Here is a typical soldier of the pre-1914 regular army, and this book is a delight, written in his own unpolished manner.

Fighting, scrounging, gambling, drinking, dodging fatigues, stolidly enduring bombardment and the hardships of trench warfare, always getting his job done.
