Good read. lots of stories of all sorts of animals but keeps the title in mind. No idea how it compares as have read none like it other than "Soldier bear" in WW2
Simply the best book Ive read,let alone on this subject.I have an avid interest in WW1 & particularly the Somme,& have read many books on the subject.The book & film "War Horse" has reignited interest in the use & roles of animals at war & in many ways its protected the reader or viewer from the true atrocities that occurred for these poor servants of man. "TOMMYS ARK" is a collection of memoirs from many participants of the so called "Great War" & often recount their feelings & observations with a brutal honesty,so where some records do not express too much detail,I guess to protect the reader & keep them reading,this book tells it like it was. I have cried with this book & laughed with this book!amongst the futility,brutality & senselessness of war,and the reports therein,theres still hope & love exprsessed on every page. If this is your interest,you will love this book,I have no doubt & if you didnt have an interest,you soon will! All thats left to say really is R.I.P to those who contributed their memoirs & in many cases their lives & the deepest sympathy & respect to the millions of animals from goose to goat,rabbit to horse who strived to survive in the worst conditions,terrorised by the insanity & violence all around,at the behest of Man,because of Man & for Man,we should feel ashamed.Read full review
Another great book by Richard Van Emden he has once again captured the actions and feelings of those who fought on the front line and used animals as part of their duties .
