Teenage Tommy - Van Emden

Teenage Tommy. Memoirs of a Cavalryman in the First World War edited by Richard Van Emden. From the blurb: '.. is a detailed account of a trooper's life at the front, vividly recalling, for example, the privations suffered during the retreat from Mons and later, the desperate fighting to hold back the German onslaught at 2nd Ypres. But this is more then just a memoir about trench warfare. Ben's lively sense of humour and healthy disrespect for petty restrictions make this an entertaining as well as a moving story of life at the front.' Illustrated. Hardcover. 178pp.
