THE GLORY OF THE TRENCHES

Coningsby Dawson and his father collaborated in this collection of memories. It is a vivid account of a young solder hospitalized from the trenches. Uniquely in the collected and public literature of the war Dawson wants to be in the game. He believes in what it is, and what he does. He presents the opposite view of Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon. Dawson’s personal account is told in verse and prose.
