Trains to the Trenches - Roden,

Body

Trains to the Trenches. The Men, Locomotives and Tracks That Took the Armies to War 1914-18 by Andrew Roden. This is a remarkable historical railway journey through Britain and Europe. It tells the story of the men and women who manned the tracks and the trains, and who relied on them to get them to battle and back home again. Drawing on diaries, memoirs and archive material the author reveals the personal stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, and pays tribute to their overlooked contribution. Supported with remarkable illustrations and photography, Roden interweaves memories of his own present day travels by train with diary excerpts of ambulance train nurses, returning POWs, drivers that put their lives in danger for everyone on board and other key voices.
