Book review: With a Machine Gun to Cambrai by George Coppard
George Coppard enlisted in Kitchener's Army in 1914 after lying about his age. Serving with the Machine Gun Corps, he fought in the battles of Loos, Somme, Arras and Cambrai. This is a genuine and highly evocative tale of life on the Western front, all the more significant because it is told by one from the Ranks rather than the officer's mess. Replete with detail and insight this book will give you a greater understanding of the horrors of trench warfare which is so easily forgotten on the wargaming table.
