There’s no shortage of material describing the experiences of British soldiers in Flanders during World War 1, although accounts from the German side are rare. This hard-hitting book describes the lives and fates of ten German soldiers with the Royal Saxon Army through their letters and intimate diaries. Their experiences illustrate the wider stories of the thousands more who fought and died in Flanders for “King and Country, Kaiser, and Reich”.
