One Young Man

"One Young Man: The simple and true story of a clerk who enlisted in 1914, who fought on the western front for nearly two years, was severely wounded at the battle of the Somme, and is now on his way back to his desk" is a classic World War One biography by Sir John Ernest Hodder-Williams. I am glad that this war biography is to be re-published, if only for private circulation, for it rings as true to-day as it did yesterday. It tells the story of one young man in the Great War, but, in fact, it reveals no less the personality of the writer who knit the young man's story together.
