About the book >.>.> Despite languishing for decades undiscovered this book is a fresh and fascinating insight into the daily life of a Royal Engineer Despatch Rider in France during the First World War – a far-from- ordinary man in extraordinary circumstances. You may be aghast at the inanities you may shed tears at the poignancy you will definitely be absorbed as the tale of war torn Europe unfolds before you. Told with optimism and perspicacity David’s fluent educated prose belies the brutish existence. Pages from his original notes and contemporary photographs create a compelling pastiche: mementoes of his life after the war are reproduced from the family album. An intimate insight into a world long gone and rarely recorded by those able to recount their experiences so vividly.
