Book excerpt: In the summer of 1914 Scotland prepared for war. Steel and Tartan charts the adventures of the 4th Battalion, Queens Own Cameron Highlanders – from their training in Bedford with the Highland Division through to five major engagements in France, including the Battle of Neuve Chapelle and the Battle of Loos, to eventual break-up in March 1916 at the hands of the British Army administrators. Of the 1,500 men who fought with the Battalion, over 250 were killed and either buried in one of the many British war cemeteries in France or else left where they fell, their names etched on one of the memorials to the missing. Using previously unpublished diaries, letters and memoirs together with original photographs and newspaper accounts, Patrick Watt tells the story of the gallant officers and men of the 4th Camerons: those ‘Saturday night soldiers’ who went so eagerly to war in August 1914.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE BRITISH SPORT BOOK AWARDS - RUGBY BOOK OF THE YEAR This is the story of 15 men killed in the Great War. All played rugby for one London club; none lived to hear the final whistle. Rugby brought them together; rugby led the rush to war. They came from Britain and the Empire to fight in every theatre and service, among them a poet, playwright and perfumer. Some were decorated and died heroically; others fought and fell quietly. Together their stories paint a portrait in miniature of the entire War. The Final Whistle plays tribute to the pivotal role rugby played in the Great War by following the poignant stories of fifteen men who played for Rosslyn Park, London. They came from diverse backgrounds, with players from Australia, Ceylon, Wales and South Africa, but they were united by their love of the game and their courage in the face of war. From the mystery of a missing memorial, Cooper's meticulous research has uncovered the story of these men and captured their lives, from their vanished Edwardian youth and vigour, to the war they fought and how they died.

Download or read book Fromelles 1916 written by Paul Cobb and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2011-09-30 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At Fromelles in July 1916 two divisions – one British and one Australian – within a few weeks of arriving in France – went into action for the first time. Their task was to prevent the Germans from moving troops to the Somme where a major British offensive was in progress, but the attack on 19/20 July was a disaster with nearly 7,000 casualties in a few hours. This account explores this battle which for many epitomises the futility of the Great War. In those few hours many heroic deeds were done but the battle caused a souring of Anglo-Australian relationships and truly was a baptism of fire for these British and Australian troops. This is their history. In a new section, Paul Cobb explores the recent discovery in 2008/09 of a mass war grave on the battlefield and includes details of the findings of the archaeological dig, the recovery of 250 bodies and the creation of a new military cemetery.

Download or read book A Deep Cry written by Anne Powell and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2014-10-06 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lives, deaths, poetry, diaries and extracts from letters of sixty-six soldier-poets are brought together in this limited edition of Anne Powell's unique anthology; a fitting commemoration for the centenary of the First World War. These poems are not simply the works of well-known names such as Wilfred Owen – though they are represented – they have been painstakingly collected from a multitude of sources, and the relative obscurity of some of the voices makes the message all the more moving. Moreover, all but five of these soldiers lie within forty-five miles of Arras. Their deaths are described here in chronological order, with an account of each man's last battle. This in itself provides a revealing gradual change in the poetry from early naïve patriotism to despair about the human race and the bitterness of 'Dulce et Decorum Est'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Eldadorian Empire has gone to war, and the Emperor has left the building! In his place, Tartan Stowe, the son of the old King, is doing his best to hold things together. After an unsuccessful invasion by the Confluni hordes and an attempt to kidnap Princess Lee by the thousand-year-old King of Trenbon, Tartan is faced with resistant Wolf Soldiers, angry nobles and peasants ready to revolt. Now, as id that weren't enough, someone is trying to kill him! As it's all about to fly apart, in comes a club foot boy, the son of an old ally, a beautiful mercenary named Jean. But Jean has her own secrets, and isn't it a coincidence that she should show up now? Tartan Stowe is a young man whom many thought should be the next King of Eldador, and some still do! Now it seems to be up to him to keep the Empire alive so that an usurper can conquer the rest of Fovea, and doesn't he have to wonder if this might be the time to bring back the Stowes, or to consolidate for himself a position in the new regime forever? Things are moving fast, and say what he will, Tartan has to realize that this is not his father's Eldadorian Empire!
