In the centenary year of the Great War, names such as Ypres, the Marne, the Somme, Passchendaele are heavy with meaning as settings for the near-destruction of a generation of men. It is this aura of tragedy that makes Huntly Gordon’s memoir, drawn from his letters written from the Front, such a potent one. He was sensitive, intelligent, unpretentious and, as his account reveals, capable of detached and trenchant judgement. As the summer of 1914 drew to a close, it was difficult for a16 year-old schoolboy to realize that the world for which he had been prepared at Clifton College was itself preparing for war. By 1916, he was commissioned in the Royal Field Artillery. By June 1917, he was at the Ypres Salient getting his ‘baptism’ at Hell Fire Corner in an intensive artillery duel that formed the prologue to Passchendaele itself. Early in 1918, his battery would fight a series of rearguard actions near Baupaume that would help turn the tide of the massive German Spring offensive. Huntly Gordon has given us an enduring and classic memoir: a poignant and extraordinarily human account of history as it happened.

"Anna Jordan's play The Unreturning is a drama exploring the profound effect that war has on young people's lives, particularly in the aftermath of conflict. It was first performed on 20 September 2018 at Theatre Royal Plymouth, before touring the UK in a co-production between Frantic Assembly and Theatre Royal Plymouth. The play revolves around three young men from Scarborough, a coastal town in the north of England, each of them coming home from war. Their stories, set at different times over more than a hundred years, are interwoven throughout: George is an army private, taking leave after the loss of his section in the trenches in 1918; Frankie is a squaddie who is sent back home to face justice for attacking an Iraqi civilian in 2013; and Nat, in 2026, is an exile from civil war in the UK, fleeing a squalid Norwegian refugee camp in the hope of finding his brother. The original production was directed by Neil Bettles, with set and video design by Andrzej Goulding. It was performed by Jared Garfield (as Frankie), Joe Layton (as George), Jonnie Riordan (as Nat) and Kieton Saunders-Browne (as Finn)."--

The World War I poet Siegfried Sassoon is one of the twentieth century's greatest icons and Jean Moorcroft Wilson is the leading authority on him. In Siegfried Sassoon: The Journey from the Trenches, the second volume of her best-selling, authorized biography, Wilson completes her definitive analysis of his life and works, exploring Sassoon's experiences after the Great War. For many people, Sassoon exists primarily as a First World War poet and bold fighter, who earned the nickname 'Mad Jack' in the trenches and risked Court Martial, possibly the firing squad, with his public protest against the War. Much less is known about his life after the Armistice. Wilson uncovers a series of love affairs with such larger-than-life characters as Queen Victoria's great-grandson, Prince Phillip of Hess, the flamboyant Ivor Novello and the exotic and bejeweled Hon. Stephen Tennant. This period also sees Sassoon establishing close friendships with some of the greatest literary figures of the age, Hardy, Beerbohm, E. M. Forster and T. E.Lawrence among them. Sassoon himself said that most people thought he had died in 1919. But Wilson shows that his poetry is, if anything, more powerful in the second half of his life. Based on a decade of meticulous research and interviews with many who knew Sassoon well, much of the material is published here for the first time. Siegfried Sassoon: The Journey from the Trenches completes a fascinating story that is beautifully told.
