Interesting perspective on a WW I officer who did not make it home. I was deeply interested the whole time. It would be definitely worth looking into finding more like this .

This is a fascinating book which is also timeless. I suspect the thoughts and actions of the diarist remain common to the modern experience of warfare in many ways. His struggles to come to terms with his role as a soldier are all the more tragic when it is revealed that he died before his position could be put forward fully. Such a sad book, but also inspiring to read of the strength of character under what must have been incredible societal pressure at the time.
