Living on the Western Front: Annals and Stories, 1914-1919

by Chris Ward

Overview

'Living on the Western Front' provides an original history of the settler experience in Befland ([B]ritish [E]xpeditionary [F]orce land) during the First World War. Using an unusual representational form that involves the stitching together of over 100 extracts from primary sources, which can then in turn be read either chronologically or thematically, Chris Ward brilliantly depicts a sense of settlers' lives in Great War Belgium, Northern France and Germany."--Page 4 of cover.
