To read these final recollections of the last Tommies is a haunting experience. The characters are brought to life for the reader through the author’s anecdotes that introduce each of the four main sections of the book, sweeping through from the outbreak of hostilities, and the misconception that it would “all be over by Christmas”, to the 1918 Armistice. Van Emden spent 20 years interviewing over 270 First World War veterans.
