Place reservation for A signaller's war : the sketchbook diary of Pte L. EllisOften humorous, sometimes horrific, always honest, Ellis describes and draws the conditions, experiences and hopes of the common soldier in the trenches of the Western Front. He was not a trained artist, writer or diarist yet his work demonstrates a skill and sensitivity that will leave the reader breathless. Never afraid to show the reality of war, this collection is a unique insight into the day-to-day existence of a young volunteer who grows from a boy to a man during his service, after witnessing the aftermath of the Somme and action at Cambrai.
