Into battle : a seventeen-year-old joins Kitchener's army
Parker, E. W. (Ernest Walter), 1896-19782013
Book
Written well over 90 years ago while the experiences of youth were still fresh in the author's mind, this is the story of a 17-year-old boy from the time he joined Kitchener's Army, as one of the first 100,000 in 1914, until he found himself in hospital - an officer with the Military Cross - recovering from his last wound, on the day of the Armistice, 11 November, 1918. In no way a formal record of the great and terrible events it describes, this is a purely personal, almost private, account.
