First reprint of this group of letters from Greenwell to his mother covering his service throughout the war as a Captain with the 4th Oxford and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry. The book is remarkable in two counts, firstly that Greenwell was able to write so freely about the horrors of war to his mother and secondly his outlook on the war - "For my own part I have to confess that I look back on the years 1914 - 1918 as among the happiest I have ever spent".
