گل‌ولای سوم: تجربیات جنگی یک سرباز پیاده‌نظام استرالیایی در فرانسه ۱۹۱۶-۱۹۱۹

Written by one who enlisted when he was just 18, who fought in the Somme trenches and survived, and came to terms with all he had seen by writing this very immediate and personal account of the horror on the Western Front during WWI. The year was 1916 and the majority had no idea of the reality of the trenches of the Somme, of the pale faced, traumatised soldiers they would encounter there, of the innumerable, awful contradictions of war. Private Lynch was one of those who survived his time in the trenches. Upon his return from France in 1919 he wrote this book. Written from the perspective of an ordinary 'Tommy' and told with dignity, candour and surprising wit, Somme Mud is a testament to the human spirit: for out of the mud that threatened to suck out a man's soul rises a compelling story of humanity and friendship.
