Synopsis "Wales on the Western Front"

Commemorates the experience of Welshmen on the Western Front, aiming to collect together writing which provides an impression of what it meant to be a soldier in World War I. This anthology includes authors such as Edward Thomas, Robert Graves, David Jones and Saunders Lewis.

This reissue, published to commemorate the centenary of the outbreak of World War I, provides many diverse impressions of what it was like to be a soldier on the Western front in the Great War and, primarily, what it meant to be a Welsh soldier. The prose and poetry collected here are from such famous names as Edward Thomas, Robert Graves, David Jones, and Saunders Lewis, and record not only horrific and dramatic events of combatsoldiers under artillery bombardment and the confusion of attacks or retreatsbut also routine activities: the difficulties in repairing the trenches, the long waits for food, the blisters and the cold, and the comradeship in the Welsh regiments.
