Written with dignity, candour and surprising wit, this soldier's story of the horror of the Western Front trenches is a testament to the power of the human spirit.Written with dignity, candour and surprising wit, this soldier's story of the horror of the Western Front trenches is a testamen…t to the power of the human spirit.It's the end of the 1916 winter and the conditions are almost unbelievable. We live in a world of Somme mud. We sleep in it, work in it, fight in it, wade in it and many of us die in it. We see it, feel it, eat it and curse it, but we can't escape it, not even by dying.Somme Mud tells of the devastating experiences of Edward Lynch, a young Australian private (18 when he enlisted) during the First World War when he served with the 45th battalion of the Australian Infantry Forces on the Western Front at the Somme, which saw the most bloody and costly fighting of the war. In just eight weeks, there were 23,000 Australian casualties.The original edition of twenty chapters, was written in pencil in twenty school exercise books in 1921, probably to help exorcise the horrendous experiences Private Lynch had witnessed during his three years at war from mid-1916 until his repatriation home in mid-1919. Lynch had been wounded three times, once seriously and spent over six months in hospital in England.Somme Mud is a precious find, a discovered treasure that vividly captures the magnitude of war through the day-to-day experiences of an ordinary infantryman. From his first day setting sail for France as the band played 'Boys of the Dardanelles' and the crowd proudly waved their fresh-faced boys off, to the harsh reality of the trenches of France and its pale-faced weary men, Lynch captures the essence and contradictions of war.Somme Mud is Australia's version of All Quiet on the Western Front. Told with dignity, candour and surprising wit, it is a testament to the power of the human spirit, a moving true story of humanity and friendship. Tells of the devastating experiences of Edward Lynch, a young Australian private (18 when he enlisted) during the First World War when he served with the 45th Battalion, AIF on the Western Front at the Somme, which saw the most bloody and costly fighting of war. In just eight weeks, there were 23,000 Australian casualties. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: New. New softcover in glossy printed wraps. Text is clean and free of marks or underlining. 8vo. (5.1 x 1 x 7.8 inches) Includes B&W photo plates and maps. 363 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. Private Edward Lynch enlisted in the army at just eighteen. As his ship set sail from…Sydney, the band played 'Boys of the Dardanelles' and the crowd proudly waved of their fresh-faced men. Men who had no idea of the harsh reality of the trenches of the Somme; of the pale-faced, traumatised soldiers they would encounter there; of the innumerable contradictions of war. Upon his return from France in 1919, Private Lynch wrote Somme Mud in pencil in twenty school exercise books, perhaps in the hope of coming to terms with all that he had witnessed. Published for the first time, Private Lynch's work is a rare, precious find. It vividly captures the horror and magnitude of the First World War, written from the perspective of ordinary infantrymen rather than officers. Told with dignity, candour and surprising wit, Somme Mud is a testament to the power of the human spirit. Out of the mud that threatens to suck out a man's very soul rises a compelling story of humanity and friendship.
