Praise for The Unreturning Army

One of the best First World War memoirs I've read - honest, intelligent and vivid, as fresh as if written yesterday.

ALLAN MALLINSON, The Times

One of the best half-dozen memoirs . . . Your father writes beautfiully, had an interesting war and emerges as a man who did his bit without being overwhelmed by the horror or elated by the dark beauty of violence

RICHARD HOLMES, author of Redcoat, Tommy etc.

I have never read anything that gives such a vivid description of the hell of Passchendaele - nor of the spirit that enabled our troops to survive it.
