The Young Gunner describes the history of the Royal Field Artillery in France and Flanders in the Great War, including the Battle of the Somme in 1916. The book is based on the letters and journals of Second Lieutenant Colin Hutchison who joined the army aged 19 just before the war started. He found himself in command of a single gun in battle in 1914, a section of guns in 1915, a battery of six guns in 1916, and a brigade of 24 guns by the end of the war. He tells the story of front line action in thirteen battles on the Western Front, including Mons 1914, Ypres 1915, The Somme 1916, Passchendaele 1917 and Ypres 1918. His personal stories are inspiring, but more importantly his letters and journals describe, in a consistent style, not only life on the front line with the artillery, but also the details of his tactical deployment in battle. David explains, from his perspective, why so many men died unnecessarily in that war, and why the changes in tactical thinking he saw as necessary to achieve success and to prevent casualties were so slow to be adopted. One cannot understand the battles of the First World War without understanding the artillery. This book, with copious factual footnotes and helpful maps, gives new insights into many of the battles, and also covers all aspects of the field artillery at war on the Western Front, with the final chapter drawing together the tactical developments year on year. The Young Gunner will appeal to readers of military history, and in particular to those interested in the stresses and experiences of any one of the 140,000 men who served in the Royal Field Artillery in the First World War.

'UBIQUE' The Young Gunner As we left the station we saw an army vehicle. Alan told me, "That's a fifteen hundred weight truck, and the canopy has been removed" There was a soldier standing by it, he had a stripe on his arm. When we reached the vehicle Alan asked him "are you here to pick us up" the soldier replied, "I think so, I'm here to meet David Chard and Alan Dean, is that you two?" "yes sir," I said. "You don't call me sir, I am a Lance Bombardier, only men above Sergeant are addressed as sir, that's Warrant Officers and Commissioned Officers. Every one else is addressed by their rank, A Sergeant is Sergeant, I am Bombardier. Which one are you?" "I'm Chard Bombardier" "good" he looked at Alan, "you must Dean then, "yes Bombardier" Alan replied "OK, put your luggage in the back and jump in after it. Kimnel Park camp is seven miles away" We moved off and soon found out that riding in the back of a fifteen hundred weight truck is not the most comfortable way to travel, especially when there was no canopy on it. When we arrived at the camp we were greeted by another soldier. This one had three stripes on his arm. Alan told me "call this one Sergeant when you talk to him." The Lance bombardier introduced us to him, "this is Chard and Dean sergeant." He looked at us. "I'm Sergeant Green, I don't know why they keep sending odds and sods to us, the Battery is away at practice camp at the moment, they don't return until next week but don't worry, I'll give you plenty to do."

Adapted for young adults from the New York Times bestseller, a riveting and true WWII story of a young man--an American tank gunner--who meets his destiny in an iconic armor duel and forges an enduring bond with his enemy. Shut the hatches. It's time to roll out. You'll find yourself behind enemy lines with Clarence Smoyer and the 3rd Armored Division, the workhorse unit known as "Spearhead," the best in the tank armor ranks. You'll feel as if you are right beside Clarence and his fellow crew members--all formerly strangers from across America who have now become family to each other. You will be jarred by enemy fire, and then explore the other side, stepping into the boots of German tanker soldier, Gustav Schaefer and his crew. You'll witness the heartbreaking tragedy, when an innocent young woman is caught in the crossfire. You'll see what happens when all of these lives collide, and realize how the aftershock still affects the survivors more than a half a century later. A riveting and true account of the perils of war as well as the prospect of forgiveness.
