I plugged this last literature thread but

In great spirits : the WWI diary of Archie Barwick

Amazing ww1 diary of a Australian soldier that fought from 1914 till the end of the war. Barely edited and he fought in pretty much every major Aussie action from Gallipoli to the western front.

He managed to capture the essence of “mate-ness” and never complains despite the awful conditions he and the troops are living in.

He’s got a great writing style and this is without a doubt my favourite book.


I read this book, I concur with the above statements although it's not quite favorite of all time.

But gently caress does he give a great description of day to day life in trench warfare. That poo poo sounded worse than hell
