British Soldiers. A GRIPPING new book written by a front-line officer describes the rough life of a British soldier during the Battle of the Somme and capture of Schwaben Redoubt in WW1. Old black and white photographs show British soldiers training in gas masks and West Yorkshire soldiers training in English trenches. Other pictures show a group of Yorkshire and Lancashire soldiers in their army uniform in France, 1916, and other snapshots reveal German soldiers operating a machinegun in a strongpoint, from which they could spray no-man???s land and any British infantry attack with bullets. Another picture is of Captain Phillip Heath, a front-line British officer who survived the blood lettings of the Somme in 1916, Passchendaele in 1917 and the Hundred Days Offensive in 1918. Captain Heath???s path through the killing fields of the First World War is told in his own words in We Were A Band Of Brothers, a new book by Brick Lane Publishing.
