Renowned British novelist and playwright John Galsworthy tackles the issue of World War I in the moving stories and sketches collected in Tatterdemalion. Half of the tales describe different aspects of wartime, and half describe the process of getting back on track once peace has been declared. With a cast of characters ranging from front-line soldiers to elderly volunteers, these stories offer an insightful look into one of the most chaotic times in modern history.
