About this book
Overcrowded Glasgow barracks open Innes Logan's account of the new army gathering in 1914. Writing as a chaplain, he describes recruits sleeping in makeshift quarters, struggling with wet clothing and shortages, and finding relief in recreation rooms supplied by local churches. His account considers their reasons for enlisting alongside the friendships and religious commitments taking shape around him.
The focus later turns to a clearing station receiving wounded men after the fighting at Loos. Logan follows the arrival of ambulances through a night of heavy rain and the sustained work of the medical staff. His personal narrative brings together Christian faith, practical care and admiration for the soldiers' endurance.
