Three Years in France with the Guns Being Episodes in the Life of a Field Battery

Excerpt: 'On a morning early in August, 1915, the Brigade disembarked at Havre without mishap to man, horse, or material, and proceeded to a Rest Camp on the outskirts of the town. We were in France at last! The same evening the Batteries started to entrain, and every two hours a complete unit was despatched up the line-to an unknown destination.
