Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church in the Fighting Line With General Smith-Dorrien at the Front: Being the Experiences of a Chaplain in Charge of an Infantry Brigade This is a most interesting book. It ought not to need even a Foreword, with such a Preface to it as has been written by one of our greatest soldiers - Sir Horace Smith-Dorrien; but, as the author is anxious that I too should write a word, I add this Foreword to say that readers will find here a plain, unvarnished account of a Chaplain's experiences during the early part of the War. Those who think that a Chaplain's work is "an easy job" will find their mistake, but, on the other hand, they will find that it is a glorious bit of work to be called upon to do.

Download or read book Physical Control Transformation and Damage in the First World War written by Simon Harold Walker and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-11-12 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From enlistment in 1914 to the end of service in 1918, British men's bodies were constructed, conditioned, and controlled in the pursuit of allied victory. Physical Control, Transformation and Damage in the First World War considers the physical and psychological impact of conflict on individuals and asks the question of who, in the heart of war, really had control of the soldier's body. As men learned to fight they became fitter, healthier, and physically more agile, yet much of this was quickly undone once they entered the fray and became wounded, died, or harmed their own bodies to escape. Employing a wealth of sources, including personal testimonies, official records, and oral accounts, Simon Harold Walker sheds much-needed light on soldiers' own experiences of World War I as they were forced into martial moulds and then abandoned in the aftermath of combat. In this book, Walker expertly synthesizes military, sociological, and medical history to provide a unique top-down history of individual soldiers' experiences during the Great War, giving a voice to the thousands of missing, mutilated, and muted men who fought for their country. The result is a fascinating exploration of body cultures, power, and the British army.

Download or read book To War with God written by Peter Fiennes and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To War With God is the moving account of Anglican chaplain Edward Montmorency 'Monty' Guilford's service in the First World War. Written by his grandson, it draws on first-hand material, including Monty's diaries, photographs and letters, tracing his journey from his first days on the Somme through the mud and terror of Cambrai to Belgium and the Army of Occupation. Along the way, Monty won the MC but lost his faith. The book also looks at the war lives of four men who had a powerful influence on Monty: his beloved brother-in-law Jack Bigger, who went missing after only days at the Front; his friend 'Pullthrough', a poet and author of scintillating letters; Private Joseph Bateman, executed for desertion, who spent his last night with Monty; and Dick Sheppard, the pacifist preacher who helped Monty back to health after the war. To War With God shows a man's faith in God being tested by an onslaught of horror. But it also shows the joy, the confusion and the humour of life as a clergyman in the war to end all wars.
