Excerpt from Nothing of Importance: A Record of Eight Months at the Front With a Welsh Battalion, October, 1915, to June, 1916This, then, is the book that I have written. It is the spirit of the war as it came to me, first in big incoherent impressions, later as a more intelligible whole. Perhaps it will seem that the first chapters are somewhat light in tone and inclined to gloss over the terrible side of War. But that is just what happens at first, the interest and adventure are paramount, and it is only after a time, only after all the novelty has worn away, that one gets the real proportion. If the first chapters do not bite deep, remember that this was my experience. This book does not claim to be always sensational or thrilling. One claim only I make for it from end to end it is the truth.The events recorded are real and true in every detail. I have nowhere exaggerated, for in this war there is nothing more terrible than the truth.All the persons mentioned are also real, though I have thought it better to give them pseudonyms.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
