An astounding account of one young infantryman’s personal experience of the Western Front in the last year of World War One.
Perfect for fans of Peter Hart, Max Hastings, and Barbara W. Tuchman.
In the spring of 1918, German forces broke through Allied lines in a last-ditch attempt to overcome their enemies. To hold back this tide, inexperienced young men from France, Britain, the United States, Australia, and Canada were sent into war against battle-hardened and desperate German soldiers.
What was it like to be an eighteen-year-old and sent to the frontlines in the First World War?
Frederick James Hodges was one of these young men and his book, Men of 18 in 1918, provides insight into the ordeals of an ordinary soldier who left Britain as a teenager but returned as a man having witnessed the full horrors of war.
Hodges charts his progress through the conflict from his short period of training to being thrown into defending Allied lines against the onslaught before being ordered, as part of Britain’s prime assault troops, into a ninety-five-day non-stop attack which only ended with the armistice of November 1918.

A teenager with only a short period of training, forced to defend against an onslaught, before going into a ninety-five-day non-stop attack, in one of the largest and most dehumanising conflicts in human history.
And we get into a spitting rage if the internet connection is a bit slow.
Robt Graves’ Goodbye to All That is also incredible. Thx, Gooms.

Thankyou VERY much,looks very interesting,I remember my Nan saying when her father returned from the front (my great grandfather) their nerves must have been shot to pieces,because whilst walking in Crofton Park,Southeast London a tram rattled around the corner and he threw himself flat on the floor as the sound was the same as a shell.

superclive, that is both fascinating & very sad.
The other day I read some guys commenting about PTSD.
One fella said we have made a number of advances treating it, to which the other guy said, ‘not really’. A true advancement would be that there is no longer a need to treat it because it no longer happens.

Here’s a bit where one of America’s greatest social critics talks bout ‘Shell Shock’.
