The sketches of friends of Mr Graves, like T.E. Lawrence, are beautifully vivid. - The Times Literary Supplement One of the classic accounts of the Western Front...In it the veteran survivors recognized their own war - The Times The cover shows a detail from Travoys Arriving with Wounded at a Dressing-Station at Smol, Macedonia by Stanley Spencer in the Imperial War Museum
