Synopsis
Excerpt from Nothing of Importance: A Record of Eight Months at the Front With a Welsh Battalion, October, 1915, to June, 1916
This, then, is the book that I have written. It is the spirit of the war as it came to me, first in big incoherent impressions, later as a more intelligible whole. Perhaps it will seem that the first chapters are somewhat light in tone and inclined to gloss over the terrible side of War. But that is just what happens at first, the interest and adventure are paramount, and it is only after a time, only after all the novelty has worn away, that one gets the real proportion. If the first chapters do not bite deep, remember that this was my experience. This book does not claim to be always sensational or thrilling. One claim only I make for it from end to end it is the truth.
The events recorded are real and true in every detail. I have nowhere exaggerated; for in this war there is nothing more terrible than the truth.
All the persons mentioned are also real, though I have thought it better to give them pseudonyms.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of personal accounts from a Welsh soldier who fought in the First World War. The author offers a unique perspective on the war, as he was not a professional soldier before the war, but rather a student. The author's writing is clear and concise, and he does not shy away from the horrors of war. He describes the mud, the rats, and the constant fear of death. However, he also finds moments of beauty and camaraderie in the midst of the chaos. This book is a valuable addition to the literature of the First World War, providing a fresh and honest account of the war from the perspective of a young man who was thrust into the midst of it. The author's insights into the nature of war and the human condition are still relevant today, making this book a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the First World War or in the human experience of war in general.
