Approaching World War I as an adventure with the high spirits of many of his age and background, Sir Morgan Crofton soon discovered the combination of terror and tedium afforded by static warfare in the machine-gun age. His diary describes the bewildering pace of technological change as new weapons like gas and hand grenades entered the fray.
Gavin Roynon served as a National Service officer with 13th/18th Royal Hussars, then read Modern Languages at Worcester College, Oxford. He went on to teach French, German and History at Eton College before retiring from teaching in 1999. This is Gavin's first book.
