"Of Those We Loved" is a must Read book. Possibly the best autobiographical account I have ever read

Actually it's still around in the original beautifully produced first edition, brand new and at less than the original cover price. Only a few left, though.

I agree that it is a 'must read' and is almost worth buying for the sketches alone.

[Dawson]

A must read indeed.

One of my favourite books.

And one that I've re-read more than any other, along with 'Time to leave the ploughshares'

I would recommend to all.

Fully agree with Ian re re-reads . One of my favourite books .

Fully agree with the above comments,

I got this book on 1st publication - 1994 - my 1st edition cost the princely sum of £20.00 from my local Smiths (back when they were a book shop) - its one of my all time favourite WW1 book's and the illustrations are first rate.

This is a must have title.
