About this Item

Softcover Sir Ernest Swinton states in the forward to the book that 'To those who took part in the War, whose powers of perception and sense of humour were not smothered by horrors, hardships and ever-present personal danger, there was much that was ludicrous, illogical and absurd which helped to preserve sanity in the drab terror of the general background.' He continues 'Major Gill's reminiscences show the reactions of an educate and critical civilian to the creaking movements of a vast improvised machine labouring to carry out a task of unforeseen and unprecedented dimensions.' Chapters include: Home Defence, Heavy Artillery, The War-House, Intelligence Wireless, Going Overseas, The Enchanted Island i, ii and iii, Salonika, Naval Methods, The Cipher Expert, The Voyage of Huntspill, Equitation and Demobilization.
