I desire to thank the many friends who by kind words of counsel and encouragement have helped me to write this book of remi niscences. In particular my thanks are due to Mr. D. M. Watt, of the Ross - Shire Journal, for his permission to incorporate a few articles from my pen Which appeared in that paper under the title of A Ross-shire Gordon Highlander's Diary of the War. B.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The author served in the 7th Battalion (TF) Gordon Highlanders, 153rd Brigade, 51st Highland Division, and the period covered in the book runs from their departure for France on 3rd May 1915 to the capture of Beaumont Hamel by the division on 13th November 1916. This is an unusual piece of work in that it is partly personal reminiscence and partly an account of his brigade and division in action. Thus we have extracts from his ‘trench journal’ on various dates describing his battalion’s experiences, but these are often set against a background of the brigade or division operations. It does not replace a divisional history as such but it certainly does give a very good picture of the Highland division at war and of a Highland battalion at war. Names of personalities mentioned are for real - not pseudonyms. This is a well-written account and a very satisfactory read but lacks maps and an index.
