This collection features unsung heroes of the three armed services, the Merchant Marine, a battlefield nurse, four chaplains, war correspondents, prisoners of war, and closes with a moving piece on the recent identification of the remains of one John Kipling, lost at Loos in 1915.
There’s not much joy here; the author will not glorify war. It’s a solid dose of realism, sometimes very grim, though ultimately not discouraging and often humorous. Mr. Brown manages to evoke pain, loss and pathos without gruesome sentimentality, which is no mean feat.
