[WWI] What's your favorite OT memoir?

[Michael Kendix]

Aside from those mentioned about the air war, I also liked Graves's book - 
he was in the Royal Welch and Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man by Siegfried 
Sassoon.  Although the latter is fictional, it is based somewhat on his own 
experience - very anti-war.  For pure history, clarity, easily read and 
well-written accounts of the Western Front situation, I recommend Lyn 
MacDonald's works, some of which are:

MacDonald, Lyn. 1914. New York: Atheneum, 1988.

MacDonald, Lyn. 1915: The Death of Innocence. New York: H. Holt, 1995.

MacDonald, Lyn. The Roses of No Man's Land. London: Michael Joseph, 1980.

MacDonald, Lyn. Somme. London: Michael Joseph, 1983.

MacDonald, Lyn. They Called It Passchendaele: the story of the Third Battle 
of Ypres and of the men who fought in it. London: Michael Joseph, 1978.

Happy Labor Day,

Michael
