Now It Can Be Told

This book contains aspects of the war the world must know and remember, not only as a memorial of men’s courage in tragic years, but as a warning of what will happen again – surely – if a heritage of evil and of folly is not cut out of the hearts of peoples. Here it is the reality of modern warfare not only as it appears to British soldiers but to soldiers on all the fronts where conditions were the same. The purpose of this book is to get deeper into the truth of this war and of all war – not by a more detailed narrative of events, but rather as the truth was revealed to the minds of men.
