We found 1 Reddit comments about The Secret History of Soldiers: How Canadians Survived the Great War. Here are the top ones, ranked by their Reddit score.
Contrary to popular belief being a soldier in the First World War was often characterized by long periods of waiting around not doing a whole lot, and a lot of soldiers engaged in crafting things like this to pass the time and take their minds off the stress of being at the front. These aspects of soldiers' lives are discussed in Tim Cook's new book which focuses on Canadian soldiers in the Great War, The Secret Lives of Soldiers. I'd highly recommend any of his books, he uses a ton of primary sources from men who were there which really brings the history to life.
