Sinopsis

As Fenella Wilson points out in her Introduction to this collection of Neil MunroâÇÖs writings on war, the theme is represented in each aspect of his career as a writer - in his fiction, journalism and poetry.áA number of the short stories here, including two Para Handy tales, were published MunroâÇÖs lifetime, as was his introduction to Fred FarrellâÇÖs 1920 The 51st Division War Sketches, and some of the Poems.áWhat has not previously âÇÖseen the light of dayâÇÖ since The Great War are the reports which Munro wrote as a war correspondent, as a civilian and later in uniform, in 1914, 1917 and 1918.áThey are vivid, personal, accounts from the Western Front, widely published in a range of newspapers of the time. Stories of Scottish regiments - in kilts, with their Pipers - abound.áThey cushion, but donâÇÖt diminish, the reality of everyday life both for soldiers on all sides in the conflict, and for the local population, amid the âÇÖhavocâÇÖ of the battlefields, âÇÖthe filthy job of human slaughterâÇÖ.
