Review
"Osprey brings a social dimension to World War I's centennial with its enormously entertaining Soldiers' Songs and Slang of the Great War. You might go bapoo at its sheer number of fascinating facts and factoids. And you might even scream, 'Sweet Fanny Adams!' But anyone with even a passing interest in the 'War to End All Wars' will love this terrific tome." --Cybermodeler Online
