THE BEST 500 COCKNEY WAR STORIES

£12.99

 Published in London in the early 1920s, The Best 500 Cockney War Stories comprised "a remembering and retelling of those war days when laughter sometimes saved men's reason".

The tone of the collection is, as the above quote suggests, determinedly humorous, reporting the lighter side of the conflict as viewed by its Cockney participants. Even so, the grimness behind what was in reality a brutal and highly mechanised conflict cut through many of the memoirs.

The collection of short memoirs, many illustrated by the famed Bert Thomas, is divided into five categories — Action, Lull, Hospital, High Seas and Here and There. Prefaced by an introduction by Sir Ian Hamilton, the British Commander-in-Chief who oversaw the Allies' unhappy campaign in Gallipoli.
