  • Description

    "Roy Haycock, a farmer, from Hope, near Nelson, joined up to fight in the First World War in January 1916, just ten weeks short of his 21st birthday. Sailing to England, via Egypt, with the 12th Reinforcements, he completed his training at Sling Camp on the Salisbury Plains, before joining his unit, the 12th Nelson Company 2nd Battalion Canterbury Regiment, and fighting in France in August 1916. ...

    This book is his story as told through two diaries which he completed during the 22nd months he served."--Back cover.
