Book excerpt: Nearly 100 years have passed since the guns blazed in the ever-deepening mud of Passchendaele. Yet places such as Ypres, the Marne and the Somme can never remain mere names in a chronicle of war - they are heavy with meaning as the setting for the near-destruction of a generation of men. It is this aura of tragedy that makes Huntly Gordonâe(tm)s book âe" consisting mainly of his own letters written home from the front âe" such a potent memoir. Gordon was a typical product of his generation âe" sensitive, intelligent, unpretentious; capable of detached, trenchant and reasoned judgement. As the glorious summer of 1914 drew to a close, it was difficult for the 16 year-old Gordon to realize that the world he had planned and prepared for at Clifton College was a world in which he now had to prepare for war. By 1916 he had left school, and after an intensive and ill-balanced course at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant, Royal Field Artillery. In June 1917, he was at the Ypres Salient, getting his âe~baptismâe(tm) at Hell Fire Corner in one of those intensive artillery duels that formed the prologue to Passchendaele in July 1917 before being engaged for six weeks in the havoc of the battle itself. In the opening months of 1918, his battery was to fight a series of rearguard actions near Baupaume during the brutal German offensive of 21 March. A transfer to a quiet sector to rest and refit was eventually possible, but they arrived there just in time to face the final German onslaught of 12 April... In The Unreturning Army Huntly Gordon recalls his experiences of a tumultuous conflict and field of battle that seem almost inconceivable to us now. And his words, for the most part written at the time, have an immediacy, freshness and poignancy that will not fail to enlighten and astonish and move the reader of today.

Download or read book County Louth and the Irish Revolution written by Donal Hall and published by Irish Academic Press. This book was released on 2017-04-10 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: County Louth and the Irish Revolution, 1912–1923 explores the local activism of the IRA and how revolution was experienced by rural and urban labourers, RIC men, republican women, cultural activists, and Big House families. Events were increasingly shaped for all these groups by the developing reality of partition, transforming a marginal county into a borderland and creating a zone of new violence and banditry. The expert contributors to the first-ever local history of the county during this period bring to light a wealth of fascinating stories that will appeal to the general public and historians alike. Critically, these stories reveal new findings about the early military skirmishes in County Louth by republican figures such as Seán MacEntee and Frank Aiken; the controversial sectarian massacre at Altnaveigh; and how the Civil War made a fiery battlefield of Dundalk and Drogheda. County Louth and the Irish Revolution, 1912–1923 documents the complexity of the local experience as the national revolution merged with long-established antagonisms and traditions, the effects of which have shaped the county ever since.

Book excerpt: A sweeping medical drama set on the battlefields of Europe as a global influenza pandemic looms... Frontline is the first instalment in a series charting the rise of a prominent medical family in the 20th Century. From war to a global pandemic, the discovery of penicillin and the birth of the NHS, the Burnetts find themselves at the centre of domestic and international developments in public health. It's 1914 and Europe is at war with itself. Grace is the daughter of the landed gentry, who defies her parents' wishes and volunteers as a nurse on the Western Front. Will is the son of a dockworker and doing his best to keep himself out of trouble, working nights as a hospital porter and trying to get through school. But the lure of patriotism and the thrill of adventure prove irresistable and he enlists while still in his middle teens. We experience the atrocities of life in the trenches through the eyes of these two characters, whose lives collide in a field hospital in France. By then, Will is a stretcher bearer whose medical talents impress all the doctors. Grace is an ambulance driver whose bravery and compassion is legendary within the army. But as rumors of an armistice begin to circulate, so does a virus of mysterious origins, carrying with it an unimaginable death toll of soldiers and civilians across the globe.
