Four Years on the Western Front: Being the Experiences of a Ranker in the London Rifle Brigade

By Aubrey Smith 

Originally published under a alias in 1922, this memoir of a private soldier in the London Rifle Brigade is based closely on the letters he sent home throughout the First World War, from enlistment and initial training in 1914, to the final Allied advance in the weeks leading up to the Armistice.

It records the experiences of an important but often unnoticed branch of the British Army, first in the trenches then in the transport section.
