KNYGA Maurice Graffet Neal A Long Way to Tipperary

Maurice Graffet Neal joined the King's Royal Rifle Corps as a teenager and later recorded two and a half years of frontline service during the First World War. Compiled from his surviving diary, this first-hand account follows the daily realities of trench warfare, including the Battles of Loos and the Somme. Immediate, unvarnished and deeply human, A Long Way to Tipperary? preserves one ordinary soldier's experience of courage, fear, endurance and comradeship.
