Description
Harry Mole describes his service through England, France, Belgium and Italy with 1/8 Battalion, Worcestershire Regiment, then 144 Machine Gun Company and 48 Machine Gun Battalion of the Machine Gun Corps.
This previously unpublished memoir by Harry is an amazingly detailed first-person account of the First World War and a machine gunner’s journey through the War. He joined his local Territorial Force battalion in 1913 alongside his ‘gang’ of friends. He was a dedicated student of machine gunnery and his promotion to sergeant over the course of the war is detailed in full, as well as many of his duties as a machine gunner.
He gives an honest account of his views of other men and officers and it is a refreshing memoir that brings some more light to the battles in France, Flanders and across to Italy as one of the British Divisions that fought there.
