This book contains a miscellany of songs, poems, sketches, stories and cartoons, all taken from the first trench newspaper to be printed at the Western Front during the First World War. The extracts have been selected, edited and organised to be a stimulating read, as well as accessible to a modern audience. The book is intended to honour those who fought and to remind us of what they had to endure. Some of the pieces are amusing, some angry, some nostalgic, and some showing determination to finish the job. Songs, sketches and poems could be selected to provide an entertainment to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the start of the Great War. The evening would be lively and enjoyable as well as educational, and the book gives plenty of scope for actors and singers to play a valuable part.
