Gripping memoirs from WW1 by the grandfather of Nancy Litten
This fascinating account of the experiences of a gunner in WW1 is from an unusual source.
Gunner Harold Wright was privately educated, but turned down opportunities to become an officer.
Something of a Puritan from a moneyed background with poor eyesight, he had to learn the ways of the world and Army discipline, and to take the rough with the smooth.
We follow this spirited man through his attempts to join up, the many different tasks a soldier was required to do, his run-ins with those in authority, experience of trenches and batteries, several narrow escapes, gas attacks, his great moment of single-handed gunnery, and hospitalizations towards the end of the war.
With his outspoken attitude and challenging mind, it is, perhaps, not that surprising that when demobilized, he was still ‘Gunner Wright’.
