A Soldier's Diary

By Ralph Scott

This is a genuine diary of a young WWI soldier who tells in vivid detail what he saw, what he did and what he felt as he fought for his country in France. The diary has a preface written in 1922 by Major-General Sir Frederick Maurice in which he maintains that books like these are a much better way to avoid future war than the glorifying histories generally available. He says "Surely our years of sacrifice were vain if the most highly educated people in Europe remain in ignorance of the real nature of war and are open scoffers at the League of Nations."
