Author Description

Taken from the weekly publication 'The War Illustrated' this book is made up of extracted articles, snippets and pictures - some sad, some heroic, some amusing, some which have an attitude which is quite surprising. This may not be a true account of what happened during that first year of WW1 but historically it shows what the readers were being told. As an act of patriotism it was probably what it was thought they should be told. What a wonderful time the soldiers were having in order to encourage others to join them. And how well the war was going for us.
