O knihe
Walter Herbert Bowen, known as Bert, starts to keep a diary at the age of 14
in January 1914. The early entries in his Boy Scouts Diary show his
preoccupations with scouting and riding his bike.
In the build-up to World War I his entries start to reflect the news Bert gathers
from the newspapers and the growing tensions in Europe. Along with many
other young men he is stirred by the thought of fighting for his country. This,
added to the difficult situation in his home, leads him to lying about his age
to enlist early.
After Bert's first tour of duty in France he comes home and falls in love for the first time.
He then enlists again and is sent to Devonport
and then Porton, where highly secretive experiments are taking place in the
use of chemical warfare.
Bert serves a second term in the Somme area of France, carrying essential
weapons to the front and securing guns in their emplacements. He witnesses
the fighting first hand including the men going "over the top".
