Place reservation for The unreturning army : a field gunner in Flanders 1917-18Nearly 100 years have passed since the guns blazed in the ever-deepening mud of Passchendaele. Yet places such as Ypres, the Marne and the Somme can never remain mere names in a chronicle of war - they are heavy with meaning as the setting for the near-destruction of a generation of men. It is this aura of tragedy that makes Huntly Gordon's book, consisting mainly of his own letters written home from the front, such a potent memoir.
