Download or read book Tommy Atkins written by John Laffin and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2016-07-11 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tommy Atkins is the English soldier, who joking broke the cavalry of France at Minden, who singing marched with the Great Duke to the Danube, who grumbling shattered Napoleon's dreams at Waterloo, who sweating in his red coat tramped back and forth across Indis, who kept his six-rounds-to-the-minute at Mons, and who died in the mud at Passchendaele, the sands of the Western Desert, and the jungles of Burma. If his name has been eclipsed by his more illustrious commanders - Cromwell, Marlborough, Moore, Wolfe, Wellington, Allenby, Slim - they at least will accord him his rightful place beside them. They knew his worth. Tommy Atkins is his story - the story of this most versatile, most adaptable, most unmilitary soldier.
Download or read book The War Stories of Private Thomas Atkins written by Thomas Atkins and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-10 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You like song, dear Private Atkins, its lilt and its sentiment, and you have been singing your way through battle, on the hills of France and the plains of Belgium. You are really a poet, as well as a first-rate fighting man, though the very idea will make your camp-fire rock with laughter. Well, in your letters from the war to the old folk and the young folk at home, you have written things worthy to be bound in cloth of gold. You have, in particular, being a natural fellow, written yourself to them, and you are just splendid, singly and collectively. You look out from your epistles with a smile on your lips, humour in one eye and a touch of the devil in the other, and you cry, "Are we downhearted?" "No!" gladly answer we, who have been listening to the news of battle ringing down the street, and for a moment, perhaps, forgetting you and your writing on the wall with the bayonet point. You do get the red, living phrases, don't you, Private Atkins? "The hottest thing in South Africa was frost-bitten compared with what's going on here." "The Boer War was a mothers' meeting beside this affair." "Another shell dropped at me and I went like Tod Sloan." "Did you see that German man's face when I told him about our victories? Poor devil! He opened his mouth like a letter-box." No, Thomas, you may not be a scribe, but you "get there," especially when the order comes, "All rifles loaded and handy by your side!" "It's hard, but it's good," is how you sum up your campaigning, and there goes a bottom truth. "You can't," as you say, "expect a six-course dinner on active service," but you would break your heart to be out of it all. "When I am in the thick of the fire a strange feeling comes over me. I feel and see no danger-I think it is the fighting blood of my forefathers." Yes, and when you receive a rifle bullet through the arm or leg it feels "a bit of a sting," nothing more, "like a sharp needle going into me, but shrapnel hurts-hurts pretty badly." You are not, however, going to let mother, wife, or sweetheart know this, because it would worry them. You dread to tell them that "when the bullet went in my leg the main artery was severed, and they are going to take part of it off and leave me a cripple for life." Still harder is it to write: "I am wounded, and do not hope to live; I am going and so cannot come home as I hoped; I send all my love." And then there is an echo of infinity and immortality in the thought, "When a fellow gets shot you never think he is gone, but that he will come back." Someone softly starts singing "Nearer, my God, to Thee," and it runs sweetly along the ranks, the muffled prayer of inextinguishable hearts for a soul in flight.The Story of the British Soldier.

Download or read book Meet Tommy Atkins written by Peter Gill and published by Olympia Publishers. This book was released on 2021-07-07 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The time; 11 o'clock. The date; November 11. 11, 11, 11. It wasn't as if there was a war that had been won... Tommy knew it wasn't over - a ceasefire had been called, yet who were the winners? He knew he would be back - it was just a matter of time... They had all been told, time and again, that they'd fought for their 'King and Country' in return for a Land Fit for Heroes. A Land Fit for Heroes - what exactly was this supposed to mean? Had things really changed? He, along with thousands of others, flooded home from the trenches to civilian life, from a hidden world of suffering to being expected to fit straight back into normal life. Peter Gill has triumphed by encapsulating the life of Tommy Atkins, a soldier like many other soldiers, dedicated to playing a part in fighting for their country.
