    Zustand: New. 2007. N&M Press reprint (original pub 1919).SB xv + 489pp. 18b/w photos and 4 maps in colour.Published Price £18 With a glut of memoirs and histories of the trench warfare on the Western Front in the Great War, interest has been increasing in other theatres of the conflict: the Middle East, the Balkans, or, as in this fascinating and unusual history, the war in Italy. This volume differs from other official Divisional histories, not only because it is solely devoted to the 7th DIvision's role in Italy in the closing weeks of the war, but also because its author, the Rev. E.C. Crosse, was not a fighting soldier but a man of peace - the senior Chaplain of the DIvision. He may not have shouldered a rifle, but, as his DSO and MC attest, and the Division's Commander, Gen. T.H. Shoubridge writes in his admiring forward:'He was also where the senior chaplain of the Division should not have been during the actual battle' ie. in the front line. Crosse's acount of the 7th Division's part in the final rout of the Austrian army, from August 1918 through the Battle of the River Piave to the final Armistice is characterised by his humanity and interest in the feelings and fortunes of the Division's common soldiers. As he writes: 'Historians so often omit to show that the men they write about were human beings like ourselves. if the world is not to forget this war as it has forgotten every other, the historians of it must record not merely that we advanced here, and the Germans advanced there, but that the ordinary British soldier carried some sixty pounds on his back on the march, that he saw his home, if he was lucky, once every fifteen months, and that everyone who was in the neighbourhood of a shell when it burst felt.that war was the devil's invention'.

"The English nation as a whole has at present no adequate conception of the part God can play in this war." - from the Introduction, page 9. "The life and training of a soldier are both designed to make him an efficient instrument in war. The declaration of war is the work of the rulers of a state. The soldier's task is to be prepared for war at any time, with the twofold object in view, first, of ensuring peace where possible; secondly, of winning the war if war is inevitable." - page 15."If he is a clean fighter your take him prisoner, and rightly so. But the type of Fritz for whom you have no mercy is the Fritz who fires at you, killing your chums all the time, and when you get up to him, like the coward he is, howls 'Mercy, kamerad!' 'No bon that game!' 'Mercy' is out of place when dealing with him. You know it and act accordingly. 'Carry on, Thomas Atkins.' You've got your faults and some of them are bad one, but your Mother Country has taught you one thing which, in the heat of battle, when men act on instinct, and not on forethought, shows itself as plain as gold. That quality is British justice and British mercy, which is exactly what our Lord meant by the phrase 'Love your enemies,'" - pages 24-25. "The true meaning of the defeat of the Spanish Armada is that God found a more congenial home in the reformed England of the sixteenth century than He did in the corrupt and decadent empire of Spain." - page 32. "In conclusion, I beg leave to give one illustration of how this faith in God can so inspire a soldier in battle so that his hown life and his own safety county in his eyes as things of no value in comparison with the cause he is defending." - page 51.; Signed by Author.…
