Old Soldiers Never Die
Frank Richards
Parthian Books
Arguably the greatest of all published memoirs of the Great War, <i>Old Soldiers Never Die</i> is Private Frank Richards’ classic account of the war from the standpoint of the regular soldier, and a moving tribute to the army that died on the Western Front in 1914. In this remarkable tale, Richards recounts life in the trenches as a member of the famous Royal Welch Fusiliers, with all its death and cameraderie, in graphic detail, vividly bringing to life the trials and tribulations faced by the ordinary rank and file.
