Excellent other rank memoir. Enlisted East Yorks aged 18 in 1915 & shortly afterwards transferred to the MGC on formation, serving with 98th Coy., 33rd Div. & 13th Coy., 5th Div. throughout 1916-18 inc. Somme, Vimy, Arras, Passchendaele, March Retreat & Final Advance, with a brief interlude in Italy from Nov. 1917-March 1918. Russell's war memoirs were first published by Drane's in 1923 entitled: With the MGC from Grantham to Cologne, but the current work is substantially different & both should be read. VG in dw. See illustration on our website.
