History of Ambulance Company Number 139 (WWI Centenary Series)

About this book

"This book is an attempt to give a brief account of the life of the men of Ambulance Company Number 139 during their services in the Great War. It was written by the men while they were awaiting sailing orders for home, in barn-loft billets of the village of Aulnois-Sous-Vertuzey, France, while the memories of our experiences were still fresh in our minds." This book is part of the World War One Centenary series; creating, collating and reprinting new and old works of poetry, fiction, autobiography and analysis. The series forms a commemorative tribute to mark the passing of one of the world's bloodiest wars, offering new perspectives on this tragic yet fascinating period of human history. Each publication also includes brand new introductory essays and a timeline to help the reader place the work in its historical context.
