Book excerpt: On the first day of the Somme 60,000 British men fell and Max Plowman was there to witness it all. From the platform at Charing Cross in July 1916 to the deck of the "Glenesk Castle" as he returned to Britain the following year, Plowman's war was fought on more than one front. The greater fight became the struggle with his own inner turmoil, constantly bubbling beneath the surface as he faced the mud-caked nightmare of the Somme. Capable and brave, on the outside there was a uniform, striving to present an military appearance, while on the inside there was a seething mind, ready to revolt. Soberly recounting the routine, the boredom, the mud and the horrors, Plowman also studies the characters of the men he fought with, and for, in an increasingly mechanised machine. Originally published in 1928 under the pseudonym "Mark VII", A Subaltern on the Somme in 1916 remains a classic memoir of the First World War's Western Front. Max Plowman (1883-1941) was a British writer, poet and pacifist. Feeling obliged to play a role he reluctantly enlisted with the Territorial Field Ambulance in Dec. 1914, later accepting a commission in the infantry. In Jan. 1917 he was sent home to convalesce, suffering from shell shock. Becoming increasingly opposed to a continuation of war, in Jan. 1918 he asked to be relieved of his commission on the grounds of conscientious objection. Court martialled, he was dismissed from the Army but avoided a prison sentence. Albion Press is an imprint of Endeavour Press, the UK's leading independent digital publisher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2006 Scholar's Bookshelf reprint edition. The two battles in which the "romantic young" author took part were the Somme and Ypres, which he somehow survived, and which he records with a special sense of humor and tragedy. He published his account in 1929 when it attracted immediate attention and went through three printings. His epilogue on militarism presents a moving retrospect, inquiring into why and how his generation fought and concluding "We must face the fact that death is inevitable and hate lamentably common."

Book Synopsis Attack on the Somme by : Martin Pegler
Download or read book Attack on the Somme written by Martin Pegler and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2006-09-15 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Battle of the Somme is fixed in the country's collective memory as a disaster—probably the bloodiest episode in the catalogue of futile offensives launched by the British on the Western Front. Over five months of desperate fighting in 1916 the British wrestled with the Germans for control of a narrow strip of innocuous French countryside. When the fighting petered out the British had barely pushed back the Germans from their original positions for a combined casualty figure of over a million men. But after 80 years this notorious episode in western military history deserves to be reassessed.Previously unpublished eyewitness accounts are used to give a fascinating first-hand view of the immediate experience of the fighting. As Martin Pegler shows, a revision in our assessment of the Somme, in particular of the tactics and the weaponry employed by the combatants, is overdue, and he challenges the traditional assumptions about the course of the battle and its future impact on the development of warfare.
