The War the Infantry Knew
by JC Dunn |
This is about JC Dunn's experiences during the Great War in
the Royal Welch Fusiliers. His battalion was in the same brigade (and later
33rd. Division) as 1st Middlesex for most of the war and the book contains
many references to 1st Middlesex. An excellent guide to the conditions and
daily life in the same areas |
