Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. With a Machine Gun to Cambrai ISBN: 9780304352586 Author: George Coppard Publisher: Cassell Military Format: Paperback Edition: 2003 reprint of the original 1999 edition Condition: Very Good This powerful First World War memoir is one of the few written by a private soldier rather than an officer, offering a rare and uncompromising view of trench warfare from the lowest rank in the British Army. George Coppard enlisted underage in 1914 and served with the Machine Gun Corps on the Western Front, fighting at Loos, the Somme, Arras, and Cambrai, where he was badly wounded and awarded the Military Medal for bravery. Based on diaries kept illegally during active service, With a Machine Gun to Cambrai presents a stark, vivid account of daily life in the trenches, the brutal realities of machine‑gun warfare, and the physical and psychological toll of modern industrial war. Coppard's direct, unsentimental style makes this memoir an enduring and highly regarded personal testimony of the Great War. This copy is the 2003 reprint of the original 1999 Cassell Military edition, containing the same text and illustrations as the first issue. Condition Note: This copy is very good condition. Clean, bright, and tightly bound, with no inscriptions, markings, or creases. Appears unread or very lightly handled, with only the faintest signs of shelf wear.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. First published by HMSO as a paperback in 1969. This edition has been substantially revised and enlarged and includes an epilogue of the author's account of a return to the battlefields sixty years later.George Coppard describes himself as a 'common private of the uneducated classes. He went to France as a very young volunteer and served as a machine gunner until 1917 when he was badly wounded. This is a vivid account of his experiences on the Western Front and is a social document of considerable importance.He is a sympathetic and sensitive observer and his description of the battlefield after the first day of the Somme has real emotional intensity. What emerges most strikingly is the helplessness of the private soldier in the face of a military system which demanded of him total and unquestioning obedience to the orders of his superiors.Well illustrated with photos and line drawings. 208pp inc letters received by the author. 22cm x 14cm Very Good in Very Good pictorial dustwrapper.…
