Condizione: New. 2005 N&M Press reprint (original pub1918). SB. xii + 210pp with frontispiece photo of the author.Published Price £9.50 The author sums up the record of his experiences in the Great War in one sentence in the introduction: five weeks in the firing line, four weeks mourned as dead, and three months a prisoner of…war. Nobbs served in the ranks of the 5th Battalion the London Regiment (London Rifle Brigade) for some years before the war, then went to Canada where he obtained a commission in the Queenâs Own Rifles. He resigned and came home in 1914 and rejoined the LRB as a captain. At first he was with the second line battalion - 2/5th - and then transferred to the 3/5th before being posted to the 1/5th in France (169 Brigade/56 Division). He joined the battalion in the first week of August 1916 when it was in rest billets at St Amand, and moved with it to the Somme on 2 Sep 1916. The first few chapters describe his early impressions. It was only a week later, on 9 September, that Nobbs was blinded during an attack on Leuze (Lousy) Wood. A bullet entered his left temple and came out through the centre of his right eye. This part of the book is very descriptive of fighting - Valley of death, Falfemont (Faffemont) Farm and Leuze Wood. His account of lying blinded in a shell hole while the battle went on around him, his being found and taken prisoner, his treatment is very moving and vivid. The final part deals with his experience in a hospital in Hanover and a PW camp in Osnabruck. His next of kin had been notified he had been killed in action, had received a telegram of sympathy from the Palace and his name had appeared in the Obituaries and his solicitors processed his estate. It was a month before the truth was revealed. Capt Nobbs was repatriated on 9 Dec 1916. The final touch comes in the last sentence of the book. Back home he received a letter from his solicitor containing an account: "To services rendered in connexion with the death of Captain Nobbs!".
