In what is one of the finest autobiographies to come out of the First World War, the distinguished poet Edmund Blunden records his experiences as an infantry subaltern in France and Flanders. Blunden took part in the disastrous battles of the Somme, Ypres and Passchendaele, describing the latter as 'murder, not only to the troops, but to their singing faiths and hopes'. In his compassionate yet unsentimental prose, he tells of the heroism and despair found among the officers. Blunden's poems show how he found hope in the natural landscape; the only thing that survives the terrible betrayal enacted in the Flanders fields.

The Boar's Head is not a battle covered any history of the Great War. It occurred at an obscure salient in the German lines around the small village of Richebourg in northern France. The writing, is a result of twelve years work, providing a detailed account of the events of 30th of June 1916 created as one easily accessible document for the benefit of the relatives of all those men who served in, especially those who gave up their lives in the service of their King, Country, and the Southdown Battalions of the Royal Sussex Regiment, Lowther's Lambs. Lost after the infamous black day for the British Army as the Battle of the Somme began on 1st July. This battle has been described as 'The Day that Sussex Died' with the 13th Battalion Royal Sussex Regiment suffering the lion's share of the casualties. Many of those who died were never identified in the aftermath of the war and are commemorated on the Loos Memorial at Dud Corner. John Baines records the events of that day, together with the history up to that time, of the Southdowners from the Royal Sussex Regiment. Thus ensuring that their exploits and sacrifices will always be remembered.

Not Forgetting the Ninth: The War Diary of Sgt Cyril Grimes 1944-45, edited by Sylvia Fox, published 2013 (164 pp., Timebox Press, ISBN-10: 095502191X & ISBN-13: 9780955021916)

With the wealth of commemorations marking the 100th anniversary of the start of WW1 it is easy to overlook that this year is the 70th anniversary of the end of WW2. This book chronicles the last year of the war through the daily experiences of a soldier of the Royal Sussex Regiment as they travel to India, Burma and Malaya to take part in the campaign against the Japanese.
As he writes he tells us where he went, transport used, his duties and, of course, the weather. His concerns about his health, enjoyment of sport, visits to the cinema, dances, together with an overriding concern to keep himself and his clothes clean paint a picture of the man and what the realities of life were like in that theatre of war.
There are clear maps which detail their manoeuvres and photographs which convey the euphoria felt after the Japanese surrender. A very poignant account of a less well known aspect of the war.
