Inhaltsangabe

A LONG WAY TO TIPPERARY? is a gripping first-hand account of life in the trenches of World War I, chronicling the harrowing experiences of Maurice Graffet Neal, a soldier in the King’s Royal Rifle Corps. Edited and compiled by his granddaughter, Stephanie Hillier, this authentic war diary offers an unfiltered, day-by-day insight into the brutal realities of trench warfare, the Battle of the Somme, and the Battle of Loos.

Told through letters, personal reflections, and vivid battlefield sketches, Neal’s compelling narrative stands alongside the best WWI memoirs, echoing classics like "Goodbye to All That" by Robert Graves and "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque.

Readers of military history, personal memoirs, and real-life war stories will find this unmissable account a riveting and historically significant read. With rare frontline humour amidst unimaginable horror, this book not only documents a soldier’s survival but also serves as a powerful tribute to the resilience of the human spirit.

Following her previous novels, Hillier brings meticulous research and heartfelt storytelling to preserve her grandfather’s extraordinary legacy.
