First published in 1918, this is a unique regimental history, mainly because it tells the story of an American regiment on the Western Front through the eyes of their mascot, a dog called Bobbie Burns. Full of humour, this fascinating account of the horrors of war, is all the more compelling because of it’s use of ‘Bobbie’ as the central character, in a war which has such an unbelievably vast scale, through Bobbie, we are able to meet only a few people but it makes the scale of tragedy more human and less mechanical.
