Product Description
Private Edward Lunch was just eighteen when he enlisted to fight in the First World War. Like so many Australian soldiers, he had little idea of the horrors he would soon face. Somme Mud is his vivid account of the nightmarish realities of trench warfare from an ordinary infantryman's point of view: the traumatised soldiers and ravaged landscapes; the curious misture of hatred, empathy and admiration for the equally naive enemy soldiers; the disillusionment and the camaraderie.
